Oak monster at this point, extracted from the bottle using a coravin. Don’t really notice much in the way of zin characteristics since it has lost a lot of its fruit.

Last of 4 bottles and this was a starting to show it's age. Deep purple color with light tannins dark cherry fruits bit of spice and fading out on the finish. Probably time to drink it up if you've got them IMHO. At $14 it has been a good QPR Zin for weekday drinking.

Oak for sure dominant with this upon opening but after about 30-45 decant started to show the dark spicy black fruits with bit of jammy mouthfeel. First Zin from this producer and wasn't disappointed.

Oak dominates but I also get cherry flavors. The nose is all oak. Light tannins, medium finish. Not bad, but definitely prefer the 2012 vintage.
