An excellent zin. Nice bright cherry color, none of the over-the-top jamminess we hate in many zins. The 15.8 ABV not noticeable at all. This should age well for at least another 5-10 years, possibly more based on our Tulocay experience.

Bombastic. Classic Zin berry profile on the nose. Bracing acidity, some warmth from the alcohol, but gobs of fruit to smooth out some of the angles. Integrated tannins. Fantastic finish.

Fantastic Zin with great fruit and purity. The only drawback might be its high alcohol, but that also could carry it forward for many years to come. Unfortunately, it's already sold out at the winery except for a few magnums.

Popped a magnum at a New Year's Day party. Still the same, and it blew the (non-wine-enthusiast) crowd away. Terrific.
