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.

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.

Medium ruby colored. Aromas of blackberry, strawberry and cedar. Strawberry jam flavors with a nice dry finish.
