Dark crimson in color. 14.8% ABV. Sublime nose of red fruits, anise and pepper. Medium body with medium acidity. Pretty fruits presented in an elegant package. Cherry, plums and earth on the palate. Nice length on the finish. If you long for restrained Zins made in a Claret style then this is your wine. Best over the next 2-3 years.

4th Saturday Group: Old & Young (J&S): Double blind. Candied red fruit notes with spice overtones. Ripe red fruit on the palate with a medium finish. Nice, if a bit straightforward. (J&L)

Well made but missing the beautiful opulence of the Collins Vineyard of old. Tasted at winery hoping that the style had moved back to the ripe wild berry-laden zin but got high toned cranberry fruit, high acid.

Husband wasn't as much a fan as I was. Got better after sitting for a while.
