Inky violet. Ripe black/blue fruit, espresso and a hint of spiciness on the deeply perfumed nose. Broad and supple on the palate, offering gently sweet cassis and cherry flavors that turn firmer on the back half. Finishes smooth and long, with a lingering mocha quality and rounded tannins adding subtle grip. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2020)

Fragrant berry scone
Big bodied wine, with syrupy like boysenberry, some mint, a sprinkle of red pepper and a JP labs type of heat on the back end. A very powerfully Zin that can stand up to anything. Pound for pound of fruit, indeed.
Sometimes you just feel like a Zin.

Well balanced Zin. Plenty of fruit and structure to balance the high alcohol. Simple blackberry jam, cooked raspberry and coconut spice.

Dry with wood and big. Dark fruit and cocoa. Slightly bitter, which I don't prefer but still nice.
