• Shop/wine critic/winery review:"Grown in vineyards that are over 45 years old,
this medium-bodied Zin has exceptional varietal character with lovely aromas of
dark fruit and blackberry. Subtle pepper spice mingles with richly concentrated
fruit flavors of blackberry, ripe plums and fresh red raspberries. Barrel aging
created its smooth, silky finish and unprecedented depth. A wonderful wine pairing for variety of
dishes. Any type of meat - whether its pork, beef or game - is ideal with this
wine. Cioppino is another amazing complement or try it with tomato-based
pastas, hearty stews or a plate of strong, aged cheeses."
• My review: This red wine had a dark and red color. I can smell strong hints of tannins before I even put my nose in the glass. After getting past the tannins, I could smell some fruit components and spices as well. I thought this wine was well made, it seems that they tried to balance out the high tannins with spices and fruits. Overall, I enjoyed the wine. It has a hot finish, but it is not too overpowering.
