Wine Critic Review: Grown in vineyards that are over 45 years old, this medium-bodied Zin has exceptional 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 a variety of dishes.
My Review: This wine really surprised me. It had a very tannic and tart nose. The first taste was very dry and almost bitter. The wine was spicy, peppery, and pleasantly dry. I could taste hints of red fruit as well. The more I tried the wine I really began to enjoy it. I did not eat any food with this wine.
