This wine is a past its peak. Better a couple years ago when it had some outrageous wood and more acid. It's not bad now, with ripe blackberry jam and lots of concentration, but now it's a bit too sweet and the distinct characteristics have faded.

Good color and clarity. Body was medium to light. Nice Zin! Still has a nice oaky finish that keeps bringing me back. I should has purchase a case!

Still a great wine. Flavors are less intense than a year ago but it is still very flavorful. Medium body, nice red color. I wish I had more.

Had at restaurant. Very fruity on the sweet side, but very nice. Others thought too fruity and sweet. For me it worked.
