Add your reviewNow this is one of those vertical picks, as last year I had such a good experience with their 2004 vintage, we decided to go with it again and I was not disappointed! The wine is a classic Zin, fruit forward with a long smooth finish. The wine itself is a deep ruby red, with a bit of opaqueness. It exhibits scents of ripe berries, cherries and a hint of leather and tobacco. As you take a whiff, you get the sense that something really good awaits! And there's no disappointment with the taste, as the sweetness of rich ripe fruit quickly gives way to leather and cedar and a long, smooth, tannin filled finish. The wine just exudes the characteristics of a small production, high-quality producer. Now, compared with the 2004 vintage, this is clearly the step child, as that vintage was just super all around, but this one is still quite a nice Zin and one which I would easily buy at the price. Tonight I enjoyed this wine with a nice rare New York strip and an ear of grilled corn, a perfect summer meal to start the weekend. Overall I would rate this wine a solid 4, with a chance to improve with a little age, though Saviez is quite good at not releasing their Zins before they are at least ready to drink! Salut!
