Got tremendous amount of melted butter on the nose, as noted by golfwine. Some very nice zin flavors on the palate, not overdone, but in a more restrained style. Very nice pepper and spice as well, with good balancing acidity. My only complaint is that the finish dropped off a bit too quickly, but overall, an excellent zin.

Don't ask me but this was singing buttered popcorn! I don't think I've ever had a Zin with this level of richness. No over-ripeness. No brambly fruit (which normally isn't a bad thing for Zin). No sappy-ness. This was a very unique and enjoyable Zin with character galore!

Superb Zin. Loads of blackberry, plum, black cherry and dark chocolate with solid tannins. This should hold up very well for several years.
