Deep healthy purple color. Nose highlighted by the currant-inflected dark cherry fruit and overt spiciness of this beautiful Zin, along with a touch of licorice and flowers. In the mouth, no rough edges yet plenty of muscular structure and refreshing acidity. Like most of the wines I've tasted from this particular vineyard, seems to have a Rhone-style profile. Seamless in feel throughout. - HK 2026-05-23
