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: The smell of the wine surrounded darker fruit. I smelt blackberries, cherries, and plums. The taste was very similar with the addition of raspberries and blueberries. There was sweetness to this wine that I liked. However, at the wine was really dry and the aftertaste felt my mouth extremely dry. The midpart of the wine tasting was great, it was the ending and after that left my mouth dry.
