Wine Review: This bright red colored Zin opens with a big ripe red raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, very jammy, and a full throttle fruit bomb. The flavor profile is a mouthwatering ripe raspberry and red currant. The finish is quite dry and noticeable tannins that are very persistent. Pair this wine with grilled barbecue chicken and enjoy.

Winemaker Notes: The "Biker" came from the West Side of Paso Robles with a vengeance. Riding off the hills of Westside Paso from the Dusi and Preston Zin vineyards, where rocky, calcareous soils result in low yield vines, producing fruit of intense concentration. A splash of Mourvedre lends an extra kick in the mid-palate. The Biker has blackberry, anise spice, and vanilla on the nose. Rich, black fruit and spice, long in the mouth lingering to a silky vanilla oak finish. A massive and in-your-face Zin - taking no prisoners. Biker rocks!
