Dark garnet with aromas of milk chocolate, classic Zin bouquet, with dark fruit, cinnamon on opening but exits quickly
Palate--OK Zin flavors, with jammy dark berry fruit, zesty savory spice and a slightly lingering finish with another touch of cocoa.
I paid $7 for this on a close out and it's ok at that price. The regular price was supposedly around $20. I wouldn't want to pay that for this wine but at $7 I'll take it all day.
A few wine makers are experimenting with bourbon barrels for aging their wine. It definitely changes the profile and the few I have had I tend to like the change. But give me conventionally well made Zin any time!
I am pairing this with a moose dish tonight It is what we do in Maine so raise a glass!
