Napa Valley, California, USA
Dense purple. Butter, raspberry, menthol and prune notes in nose. Mixed berries in mouth, slightly tart, hottish on finish with lots of fine-grain tannins, red berry, menthol and, with time, black cherry, plum and black licorice aftertaste. Good varietal character, worth decanting. Old school Zin fans take heart as it smells and tastes like a Zin should.

I spilled a little pork chop juice in my last half glass of this while cleaning up. That was a happy accident :)

Tastes like mixed berry jam. Hint of licorice. Smooth, full, delicious w/ grilled sirloin! $19 at TJ’s, so more expensive than our usual budget, but nice for a special occasion. At home for CV’s TBS graduation.
