Rating for United States-California: 88 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: drink now<br/>

This was my first taste of a red zin. (Silly Californian...) And I didn't like the white zins I had before. -- Many say this is close to a cabernet. So I had to try. -- But I'm not interested.

body of wine is like 3/4 Cab Sauv, 1/4 Pinot Noir. smooth but packs a punch. will buy again, and again, and again. drank with spaghetti.

syrupy sweet and lacking acid and body - didn't even keep it for cooking.

this wine has a strong pepper taste when it hits your throat.

full bodied spicy well balanced tannins obvious easy to get

loved it. served it at dinner party. big hit.

hints of plum and pepper spice

low acid high alcohol peppery
