Nose of big jammy dark fruit. Pronounced oak with touches of leather, cocoa and alcohol. Heavy in the mouth, good balance, great acid, red licorice with touches of ripe black plum. Bitter tannin throughout throws off the wine; long reasonably nice finish. Nice with tonight's guacamole burger.

Medium bodied, some spice on the front with a long finish. Had it with steaks and I'm not sure it complimented the food (the person who sold the wine to us at the winery recommended it with steaks). Had more the next day just with cheese and crackers and it did much better.

I don't know if it was because of a sub par wine before it, but this wine tasted good. It was a big Zin and would have paired well with spicy sausage or steak. I loved it, I'm glad I have more.

Okay, didn't have that "jammy" zin flavor like most Paso zins. It was still nice

Good punch at the front with a smooth finish. Ran through the Vinturi and that was all the wine needed, no further sitting.
