Wow! Side by siding w/ 2 Spanish, another Walla Walla and 1 Sonoma Tempranillo and this wins hands down. Big, plummy, tobacco notes, jammy fruit and fairly weighty tannins combine for a rich, intense, and thoroughly enjoyable wine. Yum!!

Luscious plum and tobacco on initial and mid palette. Viscous and hot, slides down your gullet with a tickle and burn. This is some mean-ass Zin from Walla squared... Watch out Sonoma, we're gunning for ya!

Our last bottle 😢 lovely wine. Smooth but still has some nice spice to it.

Nice wine. Let this one open up before enjoying. This is still a softer wine but opened up nice. Personally I would not age this much longer. Lot of spice on the end still, very nice.

An interesting yet fun example of new world Tempranillo. Lots of dark plum, blackberries with some smoky undertones. Integrated oak and just enough acidity.
