Decent wine when youre in the mood. Fruit forward and bordering on sweet....but not as over the top as i expected (maybe they've dialed things back just a tad in recent years or the bottle age helped??). Color was also fairly light which surprised me.

Reading the other notes, I agree, a lighter Zin. Almost Pinot-like. Very unlike Jackass or Guiseppe and Luisa. But quite pleasant. If you put aside your peppery, big Zin expectations, and drink it for what it is, it is a really nice wine. Cherries on the nose and palate. Not overly complex, but far from simple. Paired with pork stew, was just right.

Nice wine, not terribly complex but has good stone fruit on the front end.

A very nice Zin, but not of the quality of a Jackass Zin or G&L.
