Very smooth and silky. Nicely balanced Zin, and I am not really a Zin guy. But at this level it works.

Dark berry color, pungent nose, fine finish for a Zin... made it jammy and sweet. Goes well with pasta, cherry tomatoes, and still young. First shipment from Daou in 2016 Feb...

Really light zin. Nice balance. Not exciting otherwise. The flavor is very nice, a bit earthy.
