Appears I am the outlier on this one. It was decent initially, ok fruit on the front and mid palates with a little spice but had a short finish. No improvement on day 2 and the finish got somewhat sour. Could have been an off bottle. Worth the $13 I paid (but not much more). Maybe I'll try decanting the next bottle. I find it difficult to believe that this is from Pride Mountain.

Guess I'm the outlier on this one. Lots of red fruit which fades mid palate and not much of a finish. Day 2 - Maybe one point better. Wine seemed to develop a little more structure. Day 3 - Started to fade. Given the stated occurrences of bottle to bottle variation in deNegoce wines, I've withheld rating for now. We'll see after a couple more bottles. Most deNegoce wines I've tried are worth what I paid but not much more (but have not tried 385 or 401 yet).

Great zin. Lots of spice and non-jammy fruit. Went well with pasta, vodka sauce, and spicy sausage.
