Big red and blue fruit out of the gate. Big sweet nose of strawberry jam, blueberries, baking spices and oak. The palate is beautifully balanced for such a big wine. I believe that time in bottle has served this vintage well. Unctuous ripe fruit and vanilla oak coat the palate. I am not one for influential oak, but it works well here. Highly recommended.

I love this stuff. Bold, even for a Zin, but perfectly balanced.

Delicious. Rich and luscious, but also smooth and with a restrained grace. Incredible fruit and a long, long finish.
