  Nice spice and Smokey flavors, along with deep dark fruit flavors. Served with Tuscan Chicken (fennel and onions). Really good.

  A beautiful Zin, big nose and silky finish. Perfect with the boulagnaise.

  Nice jammy and spicy Zin. Some toasty flavors after about an hour into the bottle. Went well with chicken cacciatore. In a good drinking window now.

  I used this as the feature wine for Thanksgiving and this meaty darling delivered. The ruby garner quaff has a fragant nose.l of spring flowers. Still young, with lots of tannins that can age for another 5 years, the bright fruit ends with a peppery finale.

  Very expected bright fruit as it hits your mouth, while well rounded and medium weight. The tannins tell you it has lots of life ahead as does the strength of the flavors. On the nose the bright fruit aromas are there too along with brown sugar and cinnamon. Very nice wine.
