Good balance of red and black fruit. Boysenberry. Good texture. Needs air. Will age well for 10yr.

History begins in 1885, when Osea Perrone, a doctor in San Francisco's Italian community, bought 180 acres near the top of Monte Bello Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This is 100% Zin! Dark Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, floral and spice! On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with peppery floral herb spice integrated with fine soft tannins, lively acidity. Medium+ finish ending with juicy fruit and spice. Nice!

Popped and poured. Stewed dark brambles and Luxardo cherries with pie crust, Herbs de Provence (the American stuff with the lavender) and freshly cracked black pepper. On the palate, again brandied cherries and dusty dirty country road (riding my bike tells me that). Very good Paso Zin.

2015. Big “port-like” dark fruits. Went great with a meaty spaghetti dinner on a seasonable first day of spring in the Alaskan interior! Corked up the remaining half a bottle and was worried it might get even more porty the next day, but it was exactly the opposite as it gained some balance and more complex finish. Rating slightly higher for second day.
