Amazing Wine ! This is a gorgeous wine . The color is golden yellow . The nose is full of rich , ripe apricots and peaches with a whiff of wild honey and toasted hazel nuts . The wine drinks very much as is on the nose , but with a zest of salinity . This a fruit forward wine that with excellent minerality ! It borders on excellence with this kind of elegance , power and depth . Most surprising is it’s complexity . This makes it extremely unique . Albeit a big wine , the drinkability is very good . I would suggest that it pairs just as beautifully with lobster and crab as it does with a prime , double cut , grilled pork chop ! At $35 -$40 dollars this wine is most definitely a steal . The QPR ( Quality to Price Ratio ) Makes this one of the biggest steals in the wine world today . I love it ! — 5 years ago

This is a huge wine . I like to say ... It’s a big boys wine ! This 2016 Vintage compared to the 2015 Vintage is in a completely different league . It is a international style wine that is definitely fruit forward . The color is as black as night yielding to a bluish color around the rim . The nose is redolent of dark cherries laced with , espresso , dark chocolate and saddle leather . I find the same when I taste but with a strong line of black licorice “to boot” . The wine has big but round tannins and will most definitely get better with a little more time in the bottle . The finish is close to 40 seconds . All in all this is another excellent wine from The Zaro Family lineup . This wine belongs on the table of most any Great Steak House . I just recently discovered this winery , and I imagine that in the not too distant future everyone will have wished that they bought more of it , especially at today’s prices , because wine this good won’t be this cheap for very long . I guarantee it . — 5 years ago
