Ruby, translucent. Thought at first of a pinot noir. Nose had red fruits but also a definite acetic component typical of many zins. Medium-full body, nice fruit, not too much tannin. I have not liked this wine the few times in the past I've tasted it, but it was excellent this time and perfectly ready. Ric

Insanely intense. Great for Zin, but Zin isn't my thing.

Smooth and ice tea and more smoky than the usual fruit bomb. However 16.7% alcohol making itself felt towards the end.

Double decanted for an hour, really good zin, but no better that Turley or Carlisle for twice the price; delicious, drink or hold

Wine doesn't get much better than this. Intense, concentrated, energetic, well mannered. Terrific.
