Surprisingly very good. Big dark fruit but not jammy at all. Also a touch of spice.

I reviewed the 2013 vintage a few weeks ago and this is comprable.

2014 Alexander Valley Zin. Jammy & pepper smell. Tart Cherry, moderate tannins, light spice finish. May have opened too early.

Bella pulling through as usual. Great, well balanced, super smooth zin. Pretty big on alcohol, complexity and fruit. Said 7-9 years is best, but this one is going on 10 and didn't seem to be slowing down
