Very dark burgandy with a very unique nose that is very light, no fruit but perhaps some yeast like fresh baked bread. Not your typical zin--not spicy,very soft with stinginess and a presence of ripe (sweet) tangerine. Good structure with ample tannins on a medium-long finish. Given the fact that it had a screw cap, I'm not sure it has much aging potential. In a blind tasting, I'm not sure I would have even guessed it was a zin.
Still it was very enjoyable and a great complement to our grilled gourmet burgers.

Red fruit, plum. A bit of sweetness with a candied aspect, perhaps some Jolly Rancher hard candy. Medium acidity, oak in evidence but appropriate. Very enjoyable.

Really enjoyed this Zin, not overly plump as so many are. Previous note applies.
