I think 5-7 years past vintage is the sweet spot for RRV zins....the fruit has softened just a bit, so it lets the rest of the elements shine through in a better balance...deep, dark brambly fruit with light smoke and luxardo cherry...tannins are subtle and velvety...delicious.

Deep, dark nose of pencil lead, earthy fruit, and meatiness...mouthful of brambly cherry, menthol, and spice...tannic grip on the end gives the flavors weight...these hartford zins always pack a punch....

Inky opaque purple. Sweet blackberry cobbler with hints of black pepper and anise. Velvety smooth with medium mouth feel. Wow!
