Yes. Again. Blind tasted and after getting a minty aroma and lingering finish, I thought Australian Shiraz...wrong. Really unique zin. I want to buy some to keep myself.

A classic Howell Mountain Zin. Blackberry and raspberry flavors and aromas. High alcohol and firm tannins. Has a satisfying long finish. Poured in 2026.
