With 4% Petite Sirah blended in, the Big John Zin is bright in dusty red fruit, briary and brambly, with a hint of spice and nutty almond. Focused and textured, the finish is fully satisfying, the spice piquing interest again.

Deep and delicious with inviting layers of raspberry and berry cobbler, Big John is a brambly, structured Zin, with bright zaps of black pepper and clove, plus a long, satisfying finish. This is perhaps the best Zin in all of Calaveras County right now.
