Review:
A wealth of blackberries, dark cherries, and currants coalesce with clove and vanilla on the nose. Concentrated dark fruit, mostly blackberry and currant, flow into highlights of sweet spice, pine box, and toasty vanilla on the palate. Fruit-driven but with good depth and good structure. Great wine for BBQ.

Review:
A ripe nose of cherries and raspberries greets the senses with a few vanilla subtleties in the background. It's smooth and supple on the palate as jammy red fruit takes center stage. If you enjoy bold and peppery, this may not be a wine to try, but if you prefer fruit-driven Zins, this hits the right notes.

Review:
There are notes of plums, blueberries, and cherries that come together with highlights of smoked meat and spice on the nose. Jammy fruit of plum, boysenberries, and cherry are accented by bacon, pepper, and nutmeg on the palate. Rich and fairly hearty, it's a fine wine for a crowded BBQ.

Special Designation: n/a

Review:
Elements of plums and cherries coalesce with bacon and soy sauce on the exotic nose. Up front, there's cherry and plum but that moves into smoky bacon and spice. This is not a jammy, fruity Zin; it's hearty and bold and calls for a robust BBQ dish.
