Lovely wine. Obviously California big zin with a ton of fruit and body but really nice tobacco, savory herbs, and some dirt. The acidity balances out the big fruit flavor. Classic IMO.

Jan 4th, 2018I totally scored at the Safeway 50% rack. 2014 Frog's Leap Zin for less than $12!!!! I got 3 bottles. This is a lovely Oakes Zin with some pepper, and fresh fruit (blackberry and cherry). Very smooth tannins with high acidity. Definitely still a young wine.

Apr 1st, 2017Deep and robust character, less fruit character than than a licorice and somewhat smokey body. A joy with filet mignon, mushrooms, and a Barolo reduction.
