Ripe, full-bodied and delicious, this wine is big and bold, pushing the envelope with late harvest flavors, seeming sweet on the palate and the finish. It tastes like blackberry jam and dark chocolate. It would make a fine after-dinner drink, too.

Rich, peppery and smooth, this is a nicely developed, elegant Zin. It's leathery on the palate with a finish of rose petals and bittersweet chocolate.

With an edge of sweet red currants and slightly sugared herb tea, this Zin can't really be called completely dry. But the tannin-acid balance is very fine, and makes the wine balanced and enjoyable. Should be great with pasta with a marinara sauce.
