Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe red fruits, spices and dried herb notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum and currants with tobacco and herb spice. Firm rustic drying tannins, lively acidity, medium+ finish ending with complex spicy fruits. Very nice, should age well. — 4 days ago

Wanted to post some “creepy” wines with fun cheese for the Halloween season this year. This Sauv “Block” is very mild compared to others. It’s more like a Chardonnay to me. Buttery, pear, sweet fruit, very low tannins, no acidity. But the cheese! Wow. Strong white aged cheddar. The wine balances well with a bit of cheese first. 🦇🧀🥂 — a month ago

This is certainly richer than your average Oregon Pinot Noir. The nose comes off very muted with notes of red fruits and earth. The palate is full and rich with notes of red and black fruits along with tea, mushroom and wet earth. The finish is soft and long without any noticeable tannins. A perfect food red. — 11 days ago

Fragrant and luscious. Bold, big berry and cherry notes with hint of spice. One the best zins we’ve had this year. Rivals Turley.
Great selection at 1st Avenue Wine House in Cedar Rapids, Iowa — 11 days ago

Dark ruby coloration. On the nose, cherry, coffee beans, earth and citrus peel. On the palate, cherry, strawberry, a lot of earthiness, coffee, anise, dark chocolate with a long finish. Tannins are still strong. — 6 days ago

Some Zins are too jammy, this is not. Beautiful garnet color, ripe dark fruit, light finish. — 14 days ago

Daaaaammmnnn this is 🔥!!! Gots all the signatures of a big ass Cali cabs, but like I dunno, sophisticated and demure. All those ripe lush fruity juiciness was just so perfectly interwoven with cocoa coffee graphite and lightly crushed herbs all with jusssst the right amount of oakiness <chef’s kiss> — a month ago
