I really enjoy the complexity of this wine,! The earthy notes with a bit of pepper at the end and smoky wood all the way through. I know there is a fruit in here somewhere, just can't put my finger on it yet. I suppose I will have to drink more to figure it out. ....Definitely less fruity than I am used too tasting with a Zin and I am ok with that!

Dark fruit. Huge fruit bomb. Typical huge Zin, for better or worse.

Purchased two of these at discount. I opened one and tossed it; too bitter. This one I was more hopeful but.. I’m still not impressed. Granted it’s marginally better. Ok as its opening up it’s improving... great nose on this so its even more depressing if the taste is disappointing. Was hoping for a big bold red but it is just medium meh 😑

Interesting story and you can pick up more minerality, but jinn of a one trick pony.

Very balanced, nice finish. Dark fruit like plums and dried cranberries
