I don't usually drink Zin, but when I do, it this one! Old school. Elegant, good acid with baking spices and ripe plum.

I only drink a zin or two a year, but cut my teeth on it in my early days. This vineyard is the pinnacle for this variety, producing an Intercontinental rendition year after year (since 1880). It's a cool climate relatively speaking, where you could grow almost every varietal and have it turn out elegant with good acids and low ph. This '12 Estate has it all and will age til the Diam wears out.
