Deep and dark, but that's how a sin should be! It's not too deep, just not something you could drink more than 2 glasses of.

I think the ratings I've read are overly harsh. I find it soft , little oak, jammy and good ( if simplistic)

Really bites you in the tongue. A bit disappointing for a Sonoma Zin.

Not my favorite. Usually Lot 18 (Tasting Room) does pretty well with my preferences (aka "Wineprint") - not this time. A bit on the watery side for me.

Deep black cherry red in color. Jammy and oaky on the nose. Ripe fruit, toasty oak, hint of cigar, long leathery tannins. Big and bold!

First thin you notice is the heavy bottle - and the octopus legs streaming down the side of your glass.

Really nice Sonoma Zin.
