About the Wine

The wine is a dark cherry color, with a light garnet rim. Aromatic rose petal, blackberry, cola, and licorice scents are enhanced by a touch of cedar and black peppercorn. Ripe, fruity, black raspberry, plum, and rhubarb flavors are heightened by notes of anise seed, black truffle, and toasty oak. Expect perfumed forward fruit thru 2020, then a deeper, almost Gigondas-like wine in the decade to follow. Cellar through 2024 at 55°F.

Pair with Salmon with dill, Thai green curry, carnitas, Mediterranean lamb – plus your basic roast pork, beef and chicken. The bright red fruit and crisp acidity in this Zin make the perfect “ethnic food” wine
