To me, this smells and tastes like a late-70s, old school Napa Cab. Very dark color. Nose charges out of the gates with cassis, olives, dark green pungent herbs, gravel, and a little iodine. Approachable (and enjoyable) already on the palate. Sure, it’s a bit tannic but they’re soft, with mouth-coating savory flavors. None of that damn chocolateyness I don’t like (which seems near-ubiquitous now in Napa Cabs), and zero jamminess. What a value (I got it for $39) for a very tasty and true-to-type Napa Cab. — 7 months ago
Mossy on the nose, Pinot fruitiness in the mouth, grows in complexity and depth as it breathes — 19 days ago
Clear, deep ruby in color (almost purple); on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of black cherries, cassis, and graphite; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of black plum, violets, blueberries, and wet slate with a long finish. This wine is intense and complex, but could use a bit more acidityto balance the fruit. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie liked it with food. — 6 months ago
2021 is too young but I’m drinking it, and it’s delicious. — a year ago
Had the empty bottle for a while so I don’t remember much about taste but I wouldn’t have kept it if I didn’t like!!! Love the label, will look to buy again. 2020 year. — 4 months ago
A popular US import here in Zürich, at least with my family. Had it many times, very consistent. Solid Cab, very bold and fruit-forward, a little syrupy, some red licorice. Some haters on Delectable, but it never let me down. Very grill-worthy with plenty of smoked meats. — 8 months ago
Exceeded my expectations. Dosage felt high but it was a nice Champagne to open with Family on thanksgiving. — 3 years ago

solid Zin - bit too fruit focused & manipulated for my taste, plus it's expensive ($30) for what it is, prolly a crowd pleaser — 15 days ago
