Robert Smerling founded Renwood in 1993. This is a soft Zin, with aromas of berries and subtle spice. On the palate jammy blackberry and raspberry flavors, nice acidity on a balanced frame, soft tannins. Medium finish ending with fruit and spice notes. An easy drinking red.

Just like the bottle says. Great with grilled sausages. Bramble fruits, plum, great mouthfeel.

Very light for a zin, clear and a little sweet, but decent enough.

Lovely. Maybe a little sweet for my palate.

Bitter, very earthy. I would be good with a steak, but on its own, it kind of bland.

Jammy red, blackish fruits, charred cedar spice, touch of vanilla on the firm finish. Good value buy.
