Beautiful ripe blackberries and raspberries on this fruit forward nose. A light pie of baking spice, dense homemade crumby crust and compote. Juicy and delicious. Telltale nose is true to the palate. Incredible value. Drink now through the next 4-5 years.

Jul 3rd, 2015Wine is garnet colored with a strong American oak nose. Lots of cocoa and tobacco, hints of vanilla and a subdued fruitiness. Not very jammy. Taste is subtle fruit with some darker plum/date notes and loads of peppercorn and tobacco. Moderate body with a tannic finish. Very light on the sweetness and acidity. A fine wine that matched the food well.

Picked this up at Total Wine. Have been to the Vineyard and remember it well. This one did not disappoint. Even better as it opens up. Jammy and fruit forward but not sweet. Exactly what I expect from a Paso Zin!

Clear ruby color, subtle aromatics. Pleasant mild tannin structure but overall kind of muted and underwhelming.
