Smooth and supple-textured, with a modest but classy blend of cocoa, coffee, black cherry, plum, vanilla and spice flavors, finishing with good length.

What a delicious Zin this is. Sourced from the warm climates of Lodi and Amador County, it’s ripe and fruity, offering waves of wild raspberries and cherries dusted with brown sugar, cocoa and pie spice. Great value in a lusty, versatile Zin.

This Zin seems to have lots of hot-climate fruit, for it’s very soft in structure and very ripe. With pleasant raspberry, red currant and black pepper flavors, it’s a little simple, but clean and easy to drink.

Fresh and jammy, a tart young wine brimming with all sorts of fruit- stand cherries and berries, sprinkled with pepper and cinnamon. Drink this robust Zin with everyday fare.

Ripe enough in berry fruit and totally soft, this wine is a little too sweet for me, suggesting as it does a dessert confection, although it’s probably technically dry.

Simple, semisweet and harsh, with a peppery sting, this Zin gains a point for its rich berry flavors. Sourced from Lodi, Amador and Fiddletown.
