  Winebid $10 purchase so fingers crossed.
  
  Color: Dark center to ruby/garnet rim. Quite pretty with no browning.
  
  Nose: Smoke, blackberry jam. Hints of mint, cinnamon spice and herbs.
  
  Palate: Rich, deep, long and very well balanced on the palate with fully resolved tannins. Sweet, pure and clean blackberry fruit flavors have mellowed and deepened with time. Almost elegant? At least for a zin. 15%abv on the label but no heat evident.
  
  A great testament to what well made Napa zin can do.

  This wine opened a little rough but settled into a smooth clean finish. I decanted it and let it sit for 2 hours. It was a mellow wonderful wine with a great flavor. I was sad to open it (based on life suggestion on CT) but amazed once I drank it. We paired this wine with a crock pot goulash and some desert chocolate. WOW!! It lived well past the CT suggest 2001 drink stage..

  ORANGE BROWN ON THE EDGE. DEEP FRUIT AND DRIED PLUMS IN THE NOSE. FLAVOR LIKE THE NOSE AND A MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH.
