This is happy Zin. Everything about it is bright, polished, expansive, easy and fun. It defines Zin’s briary, brambly berry-and-spice character, and the texture is smooth and juicy. It’s not a dense, heavy wine, but light and airy, and just delicious. ——S.H.(11/1/2002)—— 88

An easy-drinking Zin, filled with briary, berry fruit that’s fat and jammy. Finishes with some earthy, stewed components that add complexity to an otherwise straightfoward wine.——W.E.(1/1/2000)—— 86
