Ten years post vintage, the 2016 shows little sign of age. Dark, warming, smooth and rich. Dusty tannins and the 15.5% alcohol has mellowed as has the typical peppery bite on the back-end of Zins. All around, still drinking great

Medium bodied, with notes of blackberry and subtle peppery spices. Paired very well with pork chop.
