This wine opens with a mild bouquet that that expresses a bit of raspberry. On the palate, this medium bodied wine has very nice raspberry flavors. The wine is also nicely round in the mouth, quite smooth, and expresses quite a bit of its fruit. This Zin unlike its older brother is much more food friendly and one my tasters was calling for it with a nice steak. The finish is nicely dry and slightly extended. Enjoy - Ken Winemaker Notes: Aroma: Intense black raspberry, chocolate, dusty/mineral, lavender, clove, black pepper. Taste: Plum, cassis, black raspberry fruit, chocolate and vanilla, clove spice, thick and velvety texture on the mid-palate, long sweet finish of black raspberry fruit, sweet chocolate and spice. Organic status: not organic
