"Very ripe and close to late harvest in tone but so loaded in fruit that it never crosses over the line from table uses to a wine more suited to post-prandial enjoyment, this generously stuffed, very full-bodied bottling is going to find enthusiastic takers among those who like their Zins on the big side. Both acid and tannin make themselves known towards the finish, and this is one that we would age a few years."
