Cherry, raspberry preserves, blackberry, vanilla, oak and hints of stewed fruit. Full-bodied and soft tannins.

Yeah, the alcohol is a little high, but this is light bodied, delicate and the zin aromatics are off the charts. MUST be consumed at cellar temp.

Gorgeously opulent Zin. Jammy black fruit nose with vanilla and faint white pepper. Spicy, peppery, jammy blackberry well-balanced with tart acid on the palate with faint caramel notes and a long tart finish. Really beautiful.

Nice fruit. No pepper. A little soft and I wish it was a little more tannic. Either way pretty good. Woodenhead brand is one of my favorites.

Nice sharp flavor, crisp. Pairs great with food without being too heavily bodied. Notes of pepper, low tannins.
