Quite plush, with pretty plum, cassis, black cherry, tar, coffee, toast and spice up front. The wine sits on the tongue with a velvety edge that tapers off sooner than one would wish, given the tasty fruit flavors. Very nice, nonetheless.

This is the softest, richest and fruitiest of Nadeau’s three new Zins. It’s dense in cherry and chocolate fudge flavors, with a cherry liqueur finish. Has practically no tannins, and just enough acidity to prevent cloying.

Even though this Zin has raisiny flavors that show some of the berries were too ripe, they’re merely a seasoning to what is otherwise a yummy wine. It’s soft in acids and tannins, with a cocoa finish.

I don’t know why they call it Bouncer, but it may be because the high alcohol has a kick. Drinks hot, soft and extremely fruity, with cassis, chocolate and sweet coffee flavors that define warm-climate Zinfandel.
