Not sure why the lack of love for this slightly jammy fruit forward Zin. Compares favorably with Chase Family Zin. Very fresh, balanced, with a relatively long finish for a Zin. Would drink this all day with or without food pairing.

Thumbs down. Too much vanilla oak. Flabby. A few of us tried it at Cochon. No one reached back for it, and it likely went down the drain in the kitchen. Maybe better a couple years ago?

Plum and raspberry on the nose. Big/bold stewed prune and slightly sour ripe plum on the palate. a nice rich Zin that feels like residual sugar may be a little higher than normal but alcohol is very balanced.

Maple syrup, cinnamon, and boysenberry. Maple & vanilla aftertaste. Very nice...

Not a jammy wine but a very ripe stewed prune flavor overall. No big peppery or spicy aspects, just a pure fruit forward style.
