Smoke, warm red fruits, spices, powdered sugar, roasted plums. Tannins have grip but are countered by plenty of acidity and alcohol is warm but not intrusive. Exceptionally balanced and complex at a great price point. — 10 years ago
Nice dark fruit with a very slight mint nose. Great brambly cherish fruit taste. Nice long finish with a bit of tannins at the end. Very nice and balanced. Having with Moroccan Spiced Spatchcock Grilled Chicken — 11 years ago

Full-bodied and fruit-forward without the syrupy sweetness of most inexpensive California zins. Great $11 beach wine and even better at home for $8.50 at Total Wine! — 10 years ago

The third PCV wine opened the night of my birthday. This Zin is dense rich and sweet fruit with a bit of soft tannin. One of my favorite PCV zins. But getting old. — 12 years ago
Superb blend of typicity with regional characteristics. Taste those old vines... One of the best Central Otagos I've tasted, and there have been many. Drinking perfectly now but still plenty of life, no need to rush. Purchased in Vancouver August 2015 for ~$55. — 10 years ago

This red is very enjoyable mostly Zin blend. It is nice with a ripe fruit and spice nose with a medium to full body and plenty of cranberry, black current, and peppery spice. Tart and more tannic than the usual Zin and is well balanced and very easy to drink. — 10 years ago
