Fiddletown, Sierra Foothills, California, USA
Plummy and relatively soft for the varietal. Drinking well at 7 years old.

I'm digging this Zin from the Sierra Foothills. Cherries and cola. Meaty and chewy with more acidity than you'd expect from a zin and a firm tannic backbone.

Jammy and baked red fruits, lots of sweet spice and oak. Alcohol is slightly burning

Black cherry and color with flavor to match. Nice wine, with strong legs. Had at home. Good value

Complex Red. Cherries, chocolate and cola. Touch of mint and baking spices. There is a “meaty” quality to this wine. Lots of acidity and firm tannins. Full but very approachable.

Cherries, earth, spices on the nose. Ditto for palate. Tannic. A good Zin for the $$ ($20).
