Reviews and Ratings

Gabriel Israel rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Great Zin. With all the typical flavors of a well crafted 'thick' Zin. The only hesitation I have is with the fact it cost $33. For a bot less I prefer the Seghesio Zin, which has more complexity. Still, a very good Zin.
This nicely maturing Zin sports a medium-deep garnet colour. Opens with aromas of ripe blackberry, boysenberry, plum, Christmas cake and woodsmoke. Medium-full body with a seam of bright acidity and a light backing of ripe, resolving tannins. Enjoy it tonight.
