Much more forest and earth compared to Rafanelli zin. So fun to drink next to each other. Rafanelli won this evening but love both zins.

Just a lovely zin. For the price a great wine with a steak. Very forward and mouth filling, yet balanced. Just plain tasty.

12/2023. Full of flavor. Sits well on the palate. Nice finish. Paired well with the lamb chops at Hall’s Chophouse.
