There are some overripened notes in this Zin that lift the blackberries into raisins. There's also some heat, making the wine taste higher in alcohol than it is. Drink this strong, heady Zin with barbecue.

The fault with this enormous Zin is that despite a hefty 15.6% alcohol, it still tastes as sweet as a ruby Port. Fifty percent new oak only contributes caramel to what should properly be labeled a dessert wine.
