Some prickly twang on the front of the tongue, this needs a Mollydooker Shake to blow off the CO2. Sappy and black fruit on the nose. Black fruit compote, medium acid, smooth tannin, sweet finish with a touch of saline. Quite fresh fruit, I'd have thought this was just bottled.
Reminds me more of a Cru Beaujolais than a Zin in profile. Its just so quaffable.

Quite a compelling Zin. Brambleberry, cedar, woodsy, and asian spice aromas. Medium bodied with high acidity, manages both freshness and typical black Zin fruit. Mild tannins on the finish, which captures the overall character nicely. Perhaps the mix of OV and field blend is a differentiator here.
