Very young powerful example of the varietal. Great concentration without being heavy. Beautiful acid line making the blue and black fruits reflect cranberry tones. Killer spice component and firm tannin holds everything together. This winery is batting 1000 with me.

Gorgeous evening with great friends so break out some Zin. These wines just never, ever disappoint. Not for the faint at heart, this is a BIG glass of wine. Peppery and with abundant black fruits, at 15.8 abv she’ll sneak up on you.
