Great fruit on the nose. Make sure this wine gets the air it needs, on first taste it was very hot. Given enough time to breath and it explodes with berry flavors. A hint of vanilla oak, not too strong, and an awesome long lingering finish that made my mouth tingle.

Wish I had taken rekrab201's advice (other taster's note). Pouring straight out of the bottle, doesn't have much appeal. Very hot, very little pushing through. Could see some potential, but as a first-time tasting was very lacking.

Decent wine but there are better choices out there in this price range IMHO. A bit sweet for my tastes but I am not as crazy about zin as some are. Absolutely allow this one to breathe for as long tie prior to drinkng.

a delicious wine with tons of raisins, dried fruit, jam... hints of coffee on the finish. It was great with the pork tenderloin medallions smothered in a fig reduction.
