Shop Review: Grown in vineyards that are over 45 years old, this medium-bodied Zin has exception varietal character with lovely aromas of dark fruit and blackberry. Subtle pepper spice mingles with richly concentrated fruit flavors of blackberry, ripe plums and fresh red raspberries. Barrel aging created its smooth, silky finish and unprecedented depth. A wonderful wine pairing for variety of dishes. Any type of meat - whether its pork, beef or game - is idea with this wine. Cioppino i another amazing complement or try it with tomato-based pastas, hearty stews or a plate of strong, aged cheeses. 


Tasting Review: Good. Cherry butter nose fading to jammy with medium acid and tannins with a spicy black pepper mid palate and a hot sharp finish.
