Interesting and a little atypical nose. Just-cut cedar, moist humus (not hummus), and smoke-tinged blackberry. Some rock dust too, which i expect from Paso, but not from RRV. Full-flavored, briary blackberry fruit in the mouth. The back half of the palate has some peppery heat (which I would not expect from a Zin clocking in at only 14.2%). Dry and drying on the finish. Great with my pasta.

Lots of different tastes, oddly a hint of peppermint with first few sips. Plum skin, caramel and grape. Not a typical Zin for us but delicious and drinkable. Had on its own no food pairing.

Good Zin for the price. I rated the 2015 slightly higher.

Berries and cedar and alcohol on the nose. Very tart berry flavor on taste, oak worked in really nicely. Smooth and deep, but tartness is almost too much.

Nice fruit leads to an almost oily mouthfeel backed by tart cherry acidity. Campfire smoke, cedar, dark berries, earthiness. A good drinker.
