Always impressed by Fred Scherrer's wines. Substantial zin (14.8 alc) but balanced & somehow light on its feet as well.

Pretty much the only Zin I buy. Has an old world feel to it. Brambly with cherry, espresso, high acidity. Excellent.

Fun to be drinking this with a winemaker that had a hand in it's making! Apparently the season was cold cold cold and then extremely hot. Sorting the grapes took 18 hr days !
