Hot and jammy. The over 16% alc is just too much for this wine. I still enjoyed it with ribs in a guilty pleasure sort of way, but my wife refused to finish her glass, which is a rare event.

Plump blackberry, lovely texture, integrated alcohol. What's not to love?

16.3 alc! Lol this is California zyn at its best in my opinion, really well balanced good with food or by itself, or even at the end of a nice dinner while talking to your friends...

Fruit bomb fail. Found this one lost in the cellar. Missed the window by a lot of years. 😬

Smoked meats, rhubarb and a little funk on the prominent nose. Jammy purple fruits are balanced against an integrated tannic backbone with a spicy, peppery finish. Some may think it overripe but it is a great Zin in my book.
