An intense nose full of jam and clove. Flavors of cherry, Christmas spice, tea and pepper. Smooth tannins. Big and bold, a bit extracted, this is a full-throttled zin and doesn’t hold back. Needs some time to open up. Picked up on the cheap at Costco. Enjoyable but IMHO you’re better off with Seghesio. Superior wine and a much better value.

Pepper and baking spices on the nose. Burns the nose just a tad. Syrupy, full, and smooth on the palate with a long finish. I'd like it to have a bit more backbone and less bite, but not a bad wine at all.
