I'm into most geeky wine stuff and it's interesting to have a 12.8% alc zin, but this didn't seem to have a lot of varietal character. Fresh and easy to drink all the same.

Beaujolais meets the Rhone. Who's heard of 12.5% zin? This is light with brambly red fruit. Rocks!

Astringent and light on its feet for a Zin. Paired well with a pork chop

Not sure about this one just yet. A bit like my zin but no fruit, no body, but directionally my style. Tastes like a cold climate zin, even though it's not.

Would have never known this was Zin. 12.8abv. Light style. Not a huge fruit and spice bomb.
