Second best OVZ in this region. It is big fruit forward which is typical of modern Zins nowadays. Big purple legs, big jammy burnt cherry and blackberry flavors. Bold on the palate and the closest you will get to a big Cab. Mild tannins and a beautiful lingering finish that ends with a gentle taste. Velvety vanilla. Like a big silk or velvet pillow!
