Described as a Claret style zin which makes perfect sense. Not for those who want the jammy, overripe, alcoholic zins though this is not a whimpy wine at all. You have to respect the balance and structure this bottle has. No noticeable oak. Delicious fruit. Should drink well for at least 5 more years.

Significant amounts of oak on the nose, palate and finish coupled with an old world style of dark fruit. My preference tends more toward rich bright fruit without so much wood. However, this was a great change of pace.

Past peak at this point. Not bad but somewhat thin and devoid of much of it's fruit. Short finish. Should have opened earlier. One that got away..
