Really solid, deep dark inky dense wafting red/black fruit, so much bramble, peppery, herbaceous - a throwback nose, this made me fall in love w/Sonoma County Zin in the early 90s. Med + body, full rich suave, gobs of brambly fruit - maybe bordering on being too fruit driven, but well structured not flabby or jammy and just balanced & generous.
