@Dave I think Zin and many other wines (looking at you too Southern Rhone reds) lose some balance, complexity, and food-flexibility at that level and beyond, frequently in the pursuit of higher scores from quick-sipping critics who need to be “wowed” in 15 seconds or less.

I would absolutely buy this one again! Especially at the $20-$25 price point.
Delicious blueberry and rhubarb pie on the nose. Silky tannins with low acidity, and a long vanilla finish with mild oak. Well balanced and very enjoyable.

This wine was an absolute beast, it's more like 16.5 abv but was still in control you could taste fruit, had deeper notes but balanced. Not my style but a glass will make me happy. — 10 months ago
