Definitely needed a little time to open up. Slight leather and tobacco in the finish and a nice balance depth. Not a huge wine but a great red-meat-pairing wine.

Not a bad Zin blend, but not really good either. Fruity nose, blackberries and cherry. On the tongue, I get some sweetness of wild cherry. Somewhat velvety feel in the mouth, no real boldness to it. Ok for a weekday drinker, would not pair well with a red meat.

With considerable aeration/breathing, it's amazing! Huge fruit and body to back it.

Decanted for over an hour. Strong fruit, plum, medium tannins. The majority Zin in the blend really comes through.
