Mar 21st, 2015Light red, perfect for summer. Retains the jammy, berry notes of heavier Zins without the tannins. A hint of herb (thyme?). I like chilled.

Aug 18th, 2017Great dark cherry start that evolve into a deep, earthy, deliciously bitter tinge. The wine makers note rhubarb, which is an excellent description. The dirt like ending lingers on the pallet. Love it!
