Elegant & restrained in style. Raspberry, blackberry, cinnamon, paprika, & silky tannin. Not heavily extracted, with nice length, & pure fruit. Really tasty! 540 case production.

Delicious. Lean with bright red berry fruit. No jam whatsoever. Pure and beautiful. Makes me want to try more Zin from questionable vintages

Cherries and warm spice, tannic and pretty dry. Very full-bodied without the jamminess of typical zins
