My last bottle of this, and the best so far. Nose has bright red berry and blackberry, with a nice loamy earthiness, and spiced sandalwood. Large-framed in the mouth, with lean, large cherry pie flavors, augmented with bright acidity. Dry and savory on the finish.

Terrific Zin. Nose has deep, ripe blackberry fruit, a hint of maple syrup, baking spice, and warm gravel. Mouthfilling and full bodied, but with excellent acidity. Long finish.

Large and bright flavors of berries, Varian cherry pies, baking spices, with good acidity. Virging almost towards jam but sticking nicely in the baked pie category it stays taught and sweet.
