What a nice Zin. It’s very forward-fruity. You’ll get off on the endlessly rich blackberry, cherry and boysenberry flavors, spiced up with pepper, tobacco, tobasco and sweet oak. On the other hand, the acids and tannins are dry. Feels just great in the mouth, massaging the palate with soft, creamy tannins. ——S.H.(12/1/2002)—— 92
