Crushed rock, black pepper, white pepper, baked dark fruits, slight hint of green (from stems). Beautiful wine. Medium acid, medium tannin, medium finish. Very well made. Drink with or without food.

This wine was so ripe and had a cloying sweetness that I just couldn't get over. Decanted for two hours. Cherry, currants, and sweetness dominated with the moderate tannins hitting on the finish. Very fruit forward without much complexity. A well made wine, just not my style. Drank with a beef stew, but this would be better suited as a cocktail wine for a Zin lover.
