A good value in a medium-weight, intensely minerally Zin.
Dark ruby garnet. Medium intensity, inviting nose of warm vanilla, spicy blackberries, and salty, stony minerals. Soft and fruity, lots of up-front blackberry fruit, along with a striking saline minerality. Good acidity and a fair amount of tannin in the finish. Good, not great concentration, and a medium-long, dry finish. Solid B. I got this for $14 and change at Spec's on Weslayan.
