An outstanding wine. At its peak. Deep dark red color. Pepper on the nose. Berries on the palate. Perhaps somewhat softer than some zins, but I credit that to aging.

Inital note after opening: Deep garnet cherry color. Nose of woody earth and weak blueberry cobbler. Taste is pretty soft for a zin...not much spicy pepper, more blueberry and boysenberry. Finish is a touch tannic. After 30 minutes: Nose is much the same. Taste is more peppery with the tannins becoming much softer. Still blue and boysenberries.
