Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Zin with appeal to fans of fruity Zin and Pinot Noir. It opens with a very fragrant black cherry and cranberry bouquet with a hint of eucalyptus. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and very juicy. The flavor profile is a jammy cranberry and red raspberry blend with a hint of red cherry. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins are slightly prolonged. The panel suggested pairing this wine with barbecue foods, but chicken was mentioned twice. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aromas of black licorice, leather, menthol fill the glass. This wine is made up of a full assortment of herbs and spices along with juicy raspberries and strawberries. The wine is also made up of dark chocolates, cloves and other smoky oak aromas.

Your comments on this wine:





Clinking Glasses Before Tasting Wine: Originates from medieval times. Milk was often spoiled, water was often polluted. Wine was usually safe. The host would drink the wine first and then clink glasses with guests to show the wine was good and safe for drinking.
