Terrific Zin that walks the line perfectly between ripe fruit but not overripeness. Red and black fruit, medium bodied, bright. Should evolve nicely for several more years but delicious now. Had with grilled BBQ chicken and that was a home run.

I bought this based on my experience with the 12 vintage. This is a shadow of that.

First experience with this producer and don’t drink much zin, but found this to be a nice easy drinker. Cherries and plums, with a tad of pepper on the finish. Solid!
