Ripe Rockpile zin. Port like and lots of oak on the nose. Palate has a bit of spicy complexity. Not bad for $16.99.

Very good zin. I like it better than the 2009. Earthy, even smells a little funky but has great rich flavor

Full bodied, peppery, with a strong secondary dark fruit sensation. Freakin awesome. (Also this is 15.2%).
