One of my all time favorite Zin producers!!! Big strawberry nose, with cedar closet and new leather. Blueberry emerges on the palate. Spherical. Perfect body, tannins. A truly beautiful wine.

25 year anniversary of this wine. I have been a Peter Franus fan for a long time. This zin is medium ruby, black and white pepper, clove, cedar, red cherry, vanilla on the nose--the wood is definitely pushing through, but not overpowering. On the palate, more blue/black fruit emerges, blackberry mainly. Tannins still pretty dry, alcohol high. I think this can rest even longer but it's great now too. Awesome!!!
