My Strength Rating: 7

After the fermentation period the wine was aged for 19 months in French and European oak barrels.

Wine Enthusiast 91 rating.

Blackberry, spice, and pepper on the nose.  The body has a deep ruby color with lighter ruby highlights on the edges.

Flavorful spice profile and green peppercorn greet the palate with each sip.  Dark berry notes dance around with some dark cherry, 80% dark chocolate like dryness and bite, along with a splash of oak.  

Overall, one tasty Zin. 

This Zin has a thick texture, dry aftertaste, with a lingering spice and blackberry jam on the tongue.

This wine has nice complexity on the taste and aftertaste. 

I would buy this again.
