The balance of lush fruit, rich creamy oak and firm yet softening tannins creates an ideal structure for this classic odl vine Zin. Seductive aromas of ripe brambly blackberries blended with sweet vanilla and subtle hints of black pepper. The smooth mouthfeel reveals a core of juicy ripe blackberry fused with mocha and spicy black pepper. The depth of these delicious flavors resonates on the palate through to the long, luscious finish.
