Tasting notes
Good ruby-red. Pungent aromas of briary berries, spices, pepper and bitter chocolate. Sweet, creamy and rich, with a layered texture and lovely spice character to its berry flavors. This boasts good verve for a zin with 16% alcohol. Finishes with powerful, slightly tough tannins but invigorating acidity and a light herbal nuance.
