Winery 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 variety of dishes. Any type of meat - whether its pork, beef or game - is ideal with this wine. Cioppino is another amazing complement or try it with tomato-based pastas, hearty stews or a plate of strong, aged cheeses.
Personal Review: This was a deep red color. On the nose, I got lots of earthy and peppery flavors. The nose on this wine was old world and musty. The taste of the wine was tart, and sour. The finish was somewhat smooth. Overall, this wine was okay. I did not pair it with food.
