- Master_Yoda - 05-17-2002 I'm back! -Before my review, let me state that Zins are probably my least favorite wine. Thats not to say I don't like it, just not as much as Cabs or Pinots. -My father in law is a huge Zin fan, so we popped open this Zin with seasoned tri-tip and garlic mashed potatos. This unfiltered wine has a nice dark color and seems to hold up well. The taste hints were a pleasant mix of raspberry and plum with that remained very lightly with the finish. Interestingly, the sharp tastes (including tannins) that I associate with zins are not very present in this wine. Overall, pretty standard zin that was nice with dinner. 85 pts.

They seem to be half-made wines, missing something. |
