Terrific value can be found in Napa...it's just not Cab. Boysenberries, sloe, licorice. Smooth tannins & well-balanced high 14.7% alcohol.

Solid with grilled dinner and a southwestern style slaw. Blueberry and boysenberry. Some licorice and pepper. Nice acidity as well.

I usually love this wine and I just had it last week but this one fell a bit short. I'm thinking it was bottle variation or maybe because it was just brought over from Cali.

This is normally one of my favorite Zins but I just wasn't feeling it tonight. Paired it with some lamb and it just wasn't jiving.
