Review:

Aromas of raspberries, cherries, and boysenberries are accented by notes of game and sweet spice on the nose. A sip unfurls flavors of cherry, blackberry, and raspberry complicated by suggestions of clove, nutmeg, cedar, and a hint of pepper. A more laid back, more reserved Zin, try a bottle if you’re not a fan of peppery notes in this varietal.
