Review:
A wealth of blackberries, blueberries, and cherries combine with notes of cedar and brown spice on the nose. Lush dark fruit comes forth on the palate, weaving in allusions of clove, cedar, and anise on the palate. A smooth Zin with plush tannins, pulled pork would make a nice pairing.

Review:
An abundance of dark fruit is accented by spicy, smoky, and meaty expressions on the nose. The palate echos the nose as blackberries, cherries, pepper, and bacon come forth. Not for those who prefer light and fruity, but fans of heartier reds should give this a try.

Blackberries, cherries, pepper and clove interplay together on the nose. Lush, jammy fruit, like blackberry, boysenberry, and cherry move into suggestions of pepper, clove, and coffee on the palate. Refined tannins and a balanced acidity make this wine a good match for your favorite BBQ.
