Great round nose of caramel, dates, plum, cinnamon and dried red fruits. Very playful on the palate, taste of raspberries, dried rose petals. But very short finish and not much body. If you have it, I'd suggest drink it sooner than later.

Celebrated passing my Napa Valley Wine Expert Exam with this bottle from a friend of mine for my Birthday. It's extra special because my Mom and I had visited the winery years ago. Lots of fruit and super jammy but still holds up without being cloyingly sweet. Blackberries, blueberries, raspberry jam, amd vanilla, with low acidity, light tannins and a smooth lingering finish of cooked berries. Really lovely jam-packed wine!

Nice juicy Zin. A little light in the structure for my taste, but good with pizza!
