JuiceCowboy's Review:

This is clearly a situational wine for me. With has a berry and licorice nose. Full bodied with earthy-leather taste and a smoky medium finish. The reason I think its situational is because I could really see this wine going very very well with a hardy cigar. Over time the aromas open up more and even more earth and smoke become noticeable. Highly recommend if you're a wine and cigar enthusiast (for that crowd I'd give it a 4).

JuiceCowboy's Review:

Nice ruby color with a black cherry nose. Very well balanced, full bodied red that gives hints of black cherry and clove with a short leather finish. However, if you let it breath for a while then it starts to show more character. The nose opens up more and you get a stronger sense of vanilla, the cherry taste becomes more dominant. Really nice to have a wine with this much character. More fruit than you would expect from a typical Pinot so if you're not normally a Pinot drinker this is the place to start!

JuiceCowboy's Review:

Violet color with a pleasant cherry-coke aroma this wine comes in a tad hot (I guess to be expected at 15.5% alcohol) so it could use some decanting. This medium bodied licorice flavored Zin is a little tannic giving a little bit of a "pucker" sensation. Nice, persistent toasted oak finish of medium length. This is a solid selection.

Very nice wine. Well balanced, very aromatic, big berry flavor.
