Strongly suggest any zin lover to make a concerted search for this wine. As with most everything they bottle, this is an outstanding zin. Brite ruby, rasp-straw-& blackberries hit the schnozz with a dollop of vanilla, spices, and floral notes. Big entry, solid center and a 4 lapper finish take this wine out. Still some tannins to carry this for another 3-5. 90/90. 23 by the box. WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
