Dark ruby purple. Inviting nose of blackberry and plum. Medium palate echoes the nose adding a subtle sheen of smooth oak. Juicy medium acidity cuts through and balances the softness along with very light tannins. The 14.7 alcohol doesn't assert on either the nose or the palate. All of the fruit you'd want from a good Sonoma Zin, but with a bit of finesse. Great for a higher end cookout or "cook-in." Drink now through 2025.

We liked it enough to buy a bottle, and join the wine club! This one was the smoothest of the 3 Zins we tried.

Ruby coloration. On the nose, cherry, raspberry and blackberry. On the palate, cherry, spice, vanilla, oak and a nice long finish of chocolate. Nice balanced tannins. 2013 vintage.
