Wild berries in the forest. Tart, great acidity, but there’s a nice hint of dark zin plum jam and earth that bring it together. This may rival broc for favorite zin! Look forward to getting more.

Time has treated this very well. Tons of berries, plums, hint of vanilla, some spices, a woodsy like flavor, excellent acidity. Really great.
