This is a very nice, restaurant-style Zin, meaning it’s dry, smoothly tannic and elegantly balanced, not one of those sweet fruit bombs. It has complex flavors of wild berries, currants, tobacco and lots of peppery spices.

Lots of fancy, ripe berry, cherry, licorice and brown sugar flavors in this Syrah. It’s basically dry, but high alcohol gives it a glycerine feel. Despite firm tannins, it’s showing its best now, so drink up.

It’s for you, if you like your Cabs soft, sweet in jellied fruit and hot in alcohol. Tastes like a melted cherry pie, with the sugary, smoky crust.

A little too sweet for comfort, with jellied raspberry and cherry flavors edged with the vanilla and caramel tastes from toasted oak barrels. Grows more sugary as it sits in the glass.
