Quite a fruity nose for a “full bodied” cab; I’d swear I smell Concord grapes or at least that heighten awareness of fruit not normally found in cab. That fruitiness dissipates on the palate though for a well balanced slightly acidic cab. Definitely lighter fruits more raspberries than blackberries, hints of rhubarb and sweet black cherries. A bit too sweet for my liking but a good value for the price.

Took the first sip and knew I was headed down a joyous journey. Had 2 glasses (closer to 3 if you ask my fiance) and didn't even blink. Would recommend to all those looking for an easy drink paired well with pasta and chocolate chip cookies.

👌👌 Really nice for a young zin after letting it breathe. Fruit forward with a little spicy hint of pepper, characteristic of the zins from the Lodi region. Would have preferred it to be just a little bit bolder, though. I've grown to love the robustness and complexity from Lodi greats like Michael David.

Hit me with a sourness that didn’t love. After a couple sips, evened out, but wouldn’t necessarily care to have again

Dec 7th, 2020A bit sour and lacks depth. Easy to drink but not for me.

Nice with dinner.
Jammy, oak, vanilla, black and boysenberry jam. Body is a medium minus, really could use more. Finish is ok but lacking, see body. Tannins are not big but are there, balance is ok but could use just a tad more tannins.
