A dark raspberry color introduces this wine. It possesses blackberry like aromas and flavors of cinnamon and oak. It tingles the upper palate and is chewy with good texture and structure. The finish is smooth with a hint of licorice left to linger.
On its own, this Zin is rustic. It showcases ripe, jammy raspberry, red currant, cinnamon and pepper flavors, and the tannins are coarse. But pair it up with barbecued beef and chicken, especially slathered in sauce, and it’s a match made in heaven.
