Critic 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
- Smell: woody, spicy, plants, raspberries, blackberries, cherries
- Taste: spicy, cherry, raspberry, dark wild berries
- This wine was incredibly silky and creamy on the finish with a great body
Overall this wine was fantastic, I was unsure at the first taste but after the second sip I was hooked. I did not pair this wine with food.
