Medium cherry red. Notes of plums, ripe, dark cherries and some cowberries paired with a little bit of dark chocolate. Harmonic and fresh. On the palate the fruit notes are dominating. A light acidity is recognizable, but in total a very pleasant medium-long finish.
I found this bottle at the Grocery Outlet - for below 10$! The original price at the winery - where the wine is already sold out - was more than 30 bucks. So a real bargain? Indeed! The price ratio is unbeatable. Especially because Thanksgiving is approaching soon. And this Zin is an outstanding partner for a huge Thanksgiving turkey. So even if this wine just entered the enjoyable maturity: Don't wait. Check out your local Grocery Outlet and buy what you can. It will remain on this level for another three to five years.
