2013. Deep purple coloration. On the nose, cherries, spice and dark berries. Medium body, balanced tannins. On the palate, cherry, plum with an oak and cherry finish.

Total Wine advertised this as the best zin in the store. I disagree. It was tasty but the fruit didn't pop as much as others I've had from there, but I will say the wine was well-structured and balanced. Quite a bit of sediment. Good.

Peppery juice/fruity flavors. Rustic. Bold and full bodied for a zin.
