Lighter body than the medium it boasts. Notes of plumb, cherry and oak. Classic a Zin sweetness. Super drinkable.

Definitely not the flavor bomb that 7 Deadly Zins is. Felt this was a little watered down and really hard to distinguish any specific notes.

BIG Dark Cherry aromas and flavors. Pretty typical Zin characteristics but with a "green quality." Lots of oak flavors. (Possibly to mask those green notes?).

Right from the start the color screams dark fruit such as bing cherries. After the first taste the dark fruit definitely takes the front. Smoky and a bit too much tannins for me. I wouldn't pass it up but not my favorite.
