Last night of 8 cities in 3 days, heading home tomorrow. Great meal tonight and this was a fine pairing. Love the cab and this is also very good.

Hmmmmm... macerated boysenberry, baked boysenberry. Black cherry. Grapey. Vinous. Balanced. Best zin I've had this year.

Nice color. A bit acidic. Blackberry, dark chocolate. Didn’t love it

Pretty solid Zin. Tight and ripe out the shoot but it certainly evolved in the glass. So much so that it exhibited several nice qualities of an elegant Napa Cab. Leathery dust and juicy dark fruits.

Vanilla and blackberry flavours. No particular complexity and stays the same as it breathes.

Very good. Big and fruity, med-full body, medium tannins. Good out of the bottle, but better drier after opening up.
