Leaned toward the oaky side more than the fruity side. Didn't overdo it though. Fruit included some blueberry notes that I wasn't expecting, and a brightness that would have balanced fruit better than it goes with the oak. Pleasant, if a bit confused as a Zin.

Nice full bodied zin with a unique personality that included a bright citrus note with the smokey, fruity flavors. It adds a mocha complexity near the end of the bottle but still maintains the citrus. Only a tad bid of heat that's easily overlooked. Probably better in another year.

Wonderful oaky and smokey notes predominate and blend well with the earthy zin fruit.
