Really nice red fruit, good acidity and medium tannins with some spice and black pepper. The 2012 was a really good Sonoma Zin. Perfect with a pizza.

Oak and smoky notes on the nose. Vanilla and ripe cherries on the palate. So good! Nice finish. Medium body and smooth tannins.

Vibrant chocolate cherry that I love in a California Zin. Really good wine. Almost worth the $28
