Well integrated spice just lightly touching the red berry and cherry expression. Whisp of vanilla and black pepper. Medium plus weight, nice ruby day bright. As the bottle drank down, the character remained pretty much the same.

Good everyday drinking Zin. Plums and spice on the nose, with a medium+ body and well-balanced alcohol level. Acidity is medium at best, but that's to be expected. Beautifully soft tannins though. A plump, soft wine with notes of red fruit, vanilla and spice.

Medium dark coloration. Sweet nose of ripe red fruit with a noticable vanilla component. Round mouthfeel with soft, smooth tannins. Paired nicely with barbecue chicken.

2012 ZAP-time to prepare for the 25th ZAP Event. Nose of plum, pepper, and ripe fruit, more of the same on the palate, medium body, touch simple, medium finish.
