Excellent OVZ! Bursting cherry, currant, and tobacco flavors. Smooth and medium bodied, velvety on the finish, light tannin, small lingering finish.

I so wanted to be in love with this wine, because I've adored Carol Shelton's wines in the past, but I can't say I've enjoyed this clumsy, hot zin. The nose was fairly promising, but the finish was bitter and alcoholic.
