Wow, this was seriously good. May be even better in 2-4 yrs. Elegant, and low alcohol, yet at the same time complex and interesting. Black cherry, spices, brambly notes, tobacco leaf, dried forest floor. Excellent acidity and some tannins suggest further cellaring potential. One of the better zins I have had in a while.

Historic Vineyard Society Tasting, nose of black cherry, briar, allspice, and black currants, more of the same on the palate, big body, tasty, slightly brooding, needs four years to peak, and a long, long finish.

Lovely. Not much nose. Just right on the tannins and fruit. Nice medium finish.
