Reddish brown, clear. Corked, maybe, but not affecting flavor. Green notes, with Forest floor, anise, cherry. Broad tannins and moderate acidity. Oaky flavors, with cherry, red fruit, BBQ meat, soy. Long finish. Developed nicely after a few hours. In good shape and still young

Wow... Outstanding fruit with a little spice. Starts with a strong red berry and finishes so smooth you want more. Bought a case after my first bottle.

Drank over two days. Was pretty tight the first day, but still had nice fruit with strong tannin and spice. Day two the wine had opened up to a much more easy drinking, fruit (blackberry) forward zin. Not jammy and dense but very nice to drink... Maybe more elegant? Still backed by some nice spice on day two. Maybe not the most complex zin, but fun and easy to enjoy.

Very impressed with this bottle of wine. Tasted with friends and we all really enjoyed it. At $24.00/bottle it is a very good price performer.
