This one has a deep, dark nose of black fruit and pepper, but the palate comes up a bit sweet and candied for my taste in a zin...enjoyable, but just needs a bit more gusto and complexity to make it memorable...

Verging on late harvest. It was more of a dessert wine than a big Zin. Lots of jam and maybe a little licorice? Still really good, just not the zin I'm used to from tvine.

Almost a anejo tequila sense on the nose...flavors of smokey oak and chocolate dominate the palate with a little heat and tannic grip on the finish...
