Good zin, but a bit more tannin than I'd like.

Smokey cedar/oak on the nose. Finishes with hints of spice but not boldly so. Which isn’t a bad thing - this is an easy drinker that would appeal to multiple levels of red wine drinkers.

Right from the start when you open the bottle and smell the cork, you will get the smooth oaky scents that are entangled throughout the wine.
Pour a bit of wine into a glass and swirl it around and around. Now take your nose to the glass and that rich oaky and vanilla flavour will pleasantly fill your airway.
Okay let’s get to the good part and sip, sip, hooray!
Swish, swish, bish and down the hatchet we go.
This wine will send you a slow yet full bodied flavour of cherries and spices then will develop into a man interesting deep tobacco and smoky aftertaste. This smoke flavour reminds me of the sipping Mescal from Mexico.
This wine also has lingering tannins that go well with the lingering taste. Yummmm!
I hope you can enjoy this wine as much as I have!

I like reds that don’t leave a headache and this one didn’t. A good flavored red.

Sweet, blackberries, with a light (almost minty?) finish
