OMG! What a delightful surprise this wine was! Maroon brick color, nose of cedar, tar and red currant. Opens up with black cherries, dark fruit and violets. Spicy tannins still intact at the end for a medium acid finish. Served with a hearty red sauce pasta! Cin cin!

Just ok. Blah and nondescript. Hoping to hold next one for a year to see if it develops any more character.

A good Zin but a thin Zin. Maybe a little more airtime? Paired with pasta and eggplant parmigiana. Red fruits dominate and it has very little ending
