Drinking extremely well right now. Note some sediment in the bottle. Red and dark cherries, cola, plum, and spice on the nose and palate. Copious, but silky tannins frame this soft, jammy wine. Long finish of dark fruit and a touch of earth. Nothing at all hot or angular - very nice Zin. 92-94 pts. PJP 2016.

This has a big blackberry nose, which is always a good start, followed by a upfront sweet floral flavors that alter to black fruit, lots of spice, and earth. The long finish has a slightly acidic, tannic edge. All these flavors add up to a nicely layered complex wine. This isn't a fruit bomb zin, but it does have good fruit and excellent flavors.

A bit past it's prime. Still jammy. Plums, cherries, cassi.

More interesting than I remember it. Still hasn't hit the point I would re-up my membership.
