  Spicy/mint nose, tobacco/plum, mellow but noticeable acidity, soft tannin, spicy back note after drinking, peppery, lingering floral note

  This wine has a dense look, dark but reddens in light. Fruit dominates with less spice than the old vine label would suggest--true of both the nose and the palate. Certainly not disappointing for the price, though just a bit short, and better on first opening than with standing--time actually allows too much tartness to dominate, even though a measure of pleasing spice comes along. Overall, a very drinkable and versatile Zin.

  Drank with dinner for Sunday night family dinner. Good wine for girls. Very fruity. Low acid. No body.

  Dark, looking viscous. A wine you know what you're about to taste just as you smell it––Like a candy store as you walk on by, as an adult, somehow displeasing to you now. Sure enough, a large volume of sweet that proves only to be more acrid than embracing. Acidity is present, tannins make a short cameo; it all ends without much of a linger. It slips away unnoticed. Not all that pleasing, namely because it's hard to get through a glass without a thought of apprehension.

  Not bad for the price. More fruit than spice for a typical old vine zin. Short finish. Very drinkable.
