Elegant finish. Somewhat spicy on the finish. Loads of fruit up front.

Full throttle Zin here, blackberry compote, fruitcake, concrete dust tannin. Exceptional balance for a wine at 16% abv

Smoky, dark plum, heavy black cherry. Imagine a cherry coke marinade. Heavy mouth feel, warm on the exhale.

Very dark and full throttle. Darker and smokier then the rest of their zins. Picking up plum and fig more then raspberry and blackberry. Very nice acid and structure, creates a nice velvety mouthfeel.

F'n huge Zin even as zin goes; after 3 days open it's all cake batter, dusty soil, and concentrated black fruit. It doesn't get more new oak aged Lodi Zin than this. Chew on it for days.

Tons of smoky oak stands up well to a great steak. Medium weight and tannins with notes of black raspberry and minerals. Macy's $45.

Wow! Big and bold fruit flavors. Agree with all the other comments. Too bad sold out.

Historically I do not seek out Zins; however this particular bottle may have motivated me to try another.
