Still has time in the bottle. Pulled this out of the cellar to eat with Italian food. At first, served slightly too cold and tasting was muted. After it warmed up to temperature and got a little air, it drank perfectly with a balance of dark fruit and spices. Not a fruit forward bomb. Very classy.

some chocolate and menthol on the nose. really died off after 30 mins. finish is a little dry and wine doesn't have as much sugar in it as i would expect in a zin. not my favorite, but good for a weeknight drinking wine. wouldn't pay more than $18 bones for this wine.

Had this on Labor Day with grilled sausages and hamburgers. What a great match. A delightful, fruity full-bodied wine.
