One of the best Zins I've had in a while, the fruit wasn't overwhelming and it went really well with the lamb we had.

A lovely and spicy cherry-like bouquet and is rich and bursting with sweet berry flavors. There are also delicious overtones of black current and plums forming a long and expressive finish. 2011 from Lodi CA. $11.99 from Wine World.
