Totally agree with the prior note describing it as too over the top; this thing almost drinks like a tawny port. Licorice, burnt citrus, over-ripe something or other. Thought it might subdue after decanting for an hour or so but no such luck.

Zin Collective - Winemaker: Jamey Whetstone. Big and bold on both the nose and palate - smoke, jammy fruit, black pepper, tobacco. Complex. Big tannins. Overall, a bit too strong and over the top.

Full bodied with tannins coming through at the finish. The cork disintegrated on this bottle as I tried to remove it. But, the wine didn’t seem to be impacted.

Medium dark garnet color in glass. Promising Zin nose. Full bodied and lots of weight on palate but not very complex. Moderate tannins. Lingering finish of ripe fruit. Ready now.
