Firing now. All that junk-in-the-trunk needed time to flesh out, and man, does it still pack a sophisticated punch. 15.2 with vibrant tannins and powerful briary dry fruit all wrapped in elegant wet mouthfeel.

Can a 15.2% alcohol wine possibly be balanced? In the case of this 2008 Joseph Swan Zin, the answer is "almost!" Dried blackberries and dark cherries with some leather, licorice and a hint of black pepper. Proves that Zin doesn't have to be the mindless jammy fruit bomb it often is.

Incredible nose, deep red fruit, albeit a bit hot. Another solid RRV Zin from J Swan!

Yummy! A tasty & complex Zin. The jamminess that we love showed up after it breathed for a bit.
