  Nice berry flavors but too sweet and way too much vanilla- it's a good zin mated with a cheap supermarket hologram label $8 kind of wine

  Rich and borderline sweet. Absolutely a guilty pleasure. Although there isn't much to feel guilty about if you are looking for a big and bold California Zin. What the wine lacks in structure is made up for with its fruit intensity.
  The wine looks inky colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like black pepper, blackberry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like black currant (cassis), blackberry, coffee, oak, vanilla, black pepper and chocolate. The body is full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

  Big bold Amador Old Vine Zin. If you like big, bold, peppery, fruit-forward in-your-face wines that are still smooth, this is your ticket!

  The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like plum. It tastes like plum, clove, oak, vanilla and ethanol. The body is medium. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. Moderate to high tannins
