These old vines are famous for concentration, and this Zin surely is one of the most intense wines of the vintage. It’s huge in wild berry, currant, licorice, dark chocolate, bacon and exotic spice flavors that go on and on. For all the richness, it’s wonderfully balanced, with fine tannins and a crisp backbone of acidity. Drink now.

This is not Kunde’s best Reserve, but its entirely satisfying. It floods the mouth with lusty, spicy flavors of wild berry, currant, cola and tobacco that are wrapped into intricately woven tannins. It finishes dry, but a little hot.

Fruity and spicy, offering a blast of briary forest berry and spice flavors and a tannic, brambly mouthfeel. It’s nicely dry, yet can’t quite overcome a certain rusticity.
