Motor oil, bitter chocolate and tea. Boysenberry. Blackberry preserves. There is a background of red fruit that brightens it up. Noticeable dry tannins in a medium bodied zin. This is a zin that needs to age a bit. It takes time to open up. (Was tasting itβs best at 2hr). This is not a dark heavy wine. Hot at 16.5%. But the palate is light in a good way for its high alc. Good texture. Particularly interesting for me because I just bought some fruit from this vineyard to make wine! ππ·
