Beautiful potential wishing I would have let I lay for another few years. Tannins are beginning to soften but still lending a good back bone. Black raspberry and dark cherry in the mouth under nose of cedar and vanilla.

Always one of my favorites. Great long finish, excellent fruit flavor, really stand up to the steak. Well balanced. Great wine all around

Excellent Zin and one of my favorites. Just loaded and drinking great for a 13 year old Zin. Part of a family dinner in Haddonfield.
