Tasted in 2014: Black pepper, dried plums, black figs, red currant preserves, dried Bing cherries, dry earth. Stellar wine for the money.

Nice but not my style. A little dark and flat.

Berry and jam on the nose. But this Zin is very complex with vanilla/chocolate, a bramble like mix of herbal notes bordering on tobacco, and dark fruit in the background. I really didn't think I was drinking a Zin, but rather a Cabernet Franc. A very unusual Zin, 15% abv.

We had this on our wine rack so long we couldn't remember where it came from. Pleasantly surprised it wasn't bad.
