On the nose- Big dark fruit, dark red fruit, dark cherries, dark blackberries, dark briary strawberry, peach preserves, berry pie jam, cinnamon, sweet tobacco, red flowers, herbs, baking spice
On the palate- Big dark fruit and dark red fruit, dark cherries and dark blackberries, dark briary strawberry and peach preserves, berry pie jam and cinnamon, sweet tobacco and red flowers, herbs and a nice baking spice note. This wine is drinking KILLER now but needs about 30+ min if not longer to really open up and show its stuff. I see this being able to age another 5-7 years if not longer with no problem at all.

Exceptional zin with focused blackberry fruit and intense beam of pencil lead and flowery minerality. Im sure the alcohol is huge but it comes off sleek and refined and you never feel heat, warmth or ripe hot fruit. Great complex length with balanced oak. Every sip is refreshing and keeps you coming back. Tannins are super fine and integrated so you can Drink anytime soon.

Surprisingly refined zin for Tobin James. Has all the fruit, bramble, and spice you would expect. But it’s not heavy in the mouth, and has a long finish.

Continue to be impressed by their wines. Bold with acidity - overall a very good wine.
