Great zin... Fruitier than Zichichi, another fave...

Been a fan - now with 2 trips back to their Leelanau testing room. "Sex" there is great, but Sandpiper remains my choice, dry, but still full of flavor with very light finish. Refreshing. — 10 years ago

Nice Barbera from Santa Barbara...get it?

Fruity, tart cherry, but with a disappearing finish.

More age needed, perhaps ?
