This new 100% Cab from the esteemed winemaker, Richard Arrowood, is made in the modern, cult style, which is to say it has high alcohol, soft acids and gentle tannins, and has lush, almost decadent flavors. They suggest milk chocolate, raspberries, cherries and currants, with spicy, smoky, caramelized notes from new oak.

Consumers need to be warned that this Zin has 16.3% alcohol, which puts it nearly in Port territory. That aside, it’s a good example of its style, which lots of people like. Dry and well-structured in acids and tannins, it shows rich flavors of red and black currants, anise, cola and crushed pepper.
