My favourite Zin for sure! 17 months in French oak domination, 6% Mourvedre and 2% Syrah. Blueberry, sweet spices on the nose also some pepper, medium intensity. Ruby color, slow tears along. Mefium plus bodied, dry, medium acidity, medium plus alcohol, medium plus complexity, medium plus finish. 91 points MF.

Strawberry jam on the nose, bold berry + cigar on the palate, dry, with a medium finish.

Bold, jammy, and fairly spicy with blueberry and cherry undertones. Drank this with spinach margherita pizza, and it paired surprisingly well.
