The Dusi Ranch one I purchased is 100 percent Zin. And I am sure they taste quite different.. I was at peachy canyon and tried about 8 different zins, all of which tasted very different. Still...

I could smell this wine all day. Tasted great, but the nose was what it was all about! Unfortunately I couldnt get drunk from smelling it, so I had to finish the bottle.

Nice, Dry, Smooth then Spicy. Probably really good with anything with tomato sauce, especially pizza.

Powerful, Spicy from the start, give it a few minutes to breathe and it will smooth out a bit... ate it with some tri-tip, went very well, would also compliment spicy sausage and pasta very well.
