  Thinking about getting some of the 2018 and found the 2016 in a wine bar menu. Tried it and was met a lot of our expectations. The fruit spoke of dark fruit with blackberry and maybe some raspberry as well that leaned toward the jammy side. There was spice that started with oregano and finished much more strongly towards pepper and included a hint of something else herbal. Pretty with strong body and higher alcohol and longer finish. Really enjoyed with the pimento cheese and crostini. Will be getting some of the 2018 and hope for some more of the same.

  4th Saturday Brown Bagger (R&D’s): Double blind. Opens with dominant spice notes with mixed red and black fruit underneath. There's a savory meaty element that I like. A touch hot, with a resiny/sappy quality as well. (J&L)

  Decanted for an hour. Strawberry, raspberry, plum, black pepper, licorice, some pipe tobacco, nice balance of tart and savory. Would probably go well with something spicy. Maybe curry.

  Very balanced, old school style of Zin. Really lets the classic grape varietal shine through. Definitely NOT the high alcohol, jammy style.
