Well technically it is one of the better Zins that I have ever had but it is EXACTLY what you would expect. There isn't anything daring or unique. Big and fruity, tons of oak that blows off. There should be more to wine than this.

2011 is one of my fav year for sale, better than 2012 and 2@13 is just too new in the bottle. Polished off a Magnum for Xmas eve, a crowd pleaser.
