Feels like a Pinot + Zin hybrid, with the flavor (dark fruit, mild pencil lead) of a Zin but the moutfeel and food friendliness of a Pinot. Smells amazing, like raspberries and rose petals. Finish is short but nice, doesn't have the intense alcohol burn or heavy tannins of some Zins. Just right and enjoyable.

More earthy than most zins. Has nose of dirt and blackberry. Strong tannins with mud, chocolate and pepper on the nose. Good wine but not unique or above and beyond for a zin.

Drank it here in late 2015. Even though recommendations state that it is drinkable till 2012, it drinks nicely even today. Nice medium tier Zin.
