Best Zin I have EVER HAD. All the jam, spice, anise, bumble berry and intensity. BUT really bright acidity. Refreshing and glorious. Juicy, well balanced. Honestly.... this is THE Zin.

Very nice but fading. Definitely opened up after some time in glass. I think 3-5 years is the sweet spot.

A beautiful zin. Plum on the nose and the palate. Deep red in the glass. Smooth tannins, Yum!

Plum blossom, cherry and raspberry. Hints of black pepper and cinnamon on the palate. Gentle acidity on the finish. Perfect for lamb chops. Their oldest vines, 1963, prove lasting.

Killer Zin, full of long lasting flavor with a while lot going on, can stand up to just about anything. $20.00 to get you there though.
