I'm 90 on this ZIN! Although it's not the most sophisticated wine, it's well made and drinks nicely. I even picked up some lime peel or citrus notes to the otherwise sweetly fruited tannins. I'd say it's medium bodied and pretty lean by California standards.

A Cali Zin showing some restraint. Dark ruby with a purple hue. I really like the juicy acidity as a counterweight to the pronounced red berry, cherry, plum and fig fruit. Baking spice, vanilla from judicious oak, pepper and some heat. Dusty sweet tannins. Decent length. A very BBQ friendly wine. April 2014.

very nice
