A solid, large-framed Zin. Dark, brambly blackberries, together with the telltale sign that they wanted a ripe style: a note of maple syrup. Some crushed sandstony gravel. Full-flavored, ripe dark fruit coats the palate, but it’s fortunately dry (no residual sugar like a lot of Zins these days). Acids on the low side. Tannins soft. At it peak.

Always good, sporting that note of eucalyptus or mint on the nose. But getting a little full of themselves - $30? Bit high for this zin. Thanksgiving bottle #2.
