Winery Review:
Grown in vineyards that are over 45 years old, this medium-bodied Zin has
exceptional varietal character with lovely aromas of dark fruit and blackberry.
Subtle pepper spice mingles with richly concentrated fruit flavors of
blackberry, ripe plums and fresh red raspberries. Barrel aging created its
smooth, silky finish and unprecedented depth. A wonderful wine pairing for
variety of dishes. Any type of meat – whether its pork, beef or game – is ideal
with this wine. Cioppino is another amazing complement or try it with
tomato-based pastas, hearty stews or a plate of strong, aged cheeses.
My Review: This
wine was so interesting. I was instantly intrigued by the beautiful ruby color.
The first and overwhelming profile of the nose is CHERRIES. Bright, deep ruby
red colored, juicy cherries and red raspberries. With continued swirling, this
wine took on a sort of green aroma: grass, vegetation and earth. The midpalate
of this wine echoed notes of the nose: cherry, red raspberry and herb. Added to
those flavors were floral suggestions and cherry tomatoes, very complex. It
finished very dry, I was almost parched, hoping for another glass of this wine.
