A balanced bargain-priced Zin that’s perfect for weeknight dinners and casual cookouts. Earthy, brambly nose shows some ripe Zin blackberry fruit as well. Only 14.3%! Soft and full (but not too full) in the mouth, it’s got nice, nonjammy fruit and a nice, savory finish. It’s sad that, these days, you have to describe Zins by what they’re NOT (not too jammy, not sweet, not huge-bodied 15+ behemoths). Such a versatile wine at the table when grown in the right places and treated with care.
