Big, bold aromas of spice and mocha fill your nose, while intense flavors of plum and chocolate, rich tannins and vanilla mocha notes rock your palate. Brazin is a not a wine to be rushed - don't be afraid to savor its long, lingering finish.

The wine is textured Smooth. The wine finishes Medium. njgolfer - 11/30/2011 Rating: 84 Nose: some wood notes and forest. Charcoal and spice rub Palate: a little too much initial sweetness and extracted alcohol for me. Once that dies off, there is a long finish with Thai spice and some dark fruits. The taste is a little reminiscent of old school cherry cough syrup. VeniceCalif - 11/29/2011 Rating: 86 Decanted 2 hrs. ahead. Medium garnet color. Nose has spice and cola notes, a bit shy. Medium-bodied on the palate, with cherries, plums, cola, all pleasant. Firm acidity carries into the finish, which is quick with light tannins. This is old-vine zin all right, but it does not drink like Lodi; it's more like Sonoma, medium-bodied and juicy with lively acids. Absolutely pleasant if not deeply memorable. TEXAS TOAD - 10/24/2011 Rating: 88 This is a nice cheap zin (almost drinks like a cab), get this! It was better NOT going through the venturi (first time that has happened for me). The non venturi was smoth and not as thin, no bite for $10 big winer (good QPR). Others have said only good through 2011 so drink it up (I will buy more). Athlete3811 - 9/2/2011 Rating: 87 Sweet aroma of berries, dried fruit, jam, and a hint of wood. Sweet with full fruit flavors that are accompanied by low tannins and a long, yet smooth finish. Overall, it is a very well-balanced wine for everyday drinking either by itself or with mildly flavored food.
