A flabby, out-of-balance disappointment.
Eye:  Medium plummy ruby color.
Nose:  Nose of spicy, tart/sweet brambleberries, pine forest and anchovy paste.
Mouth:  Very simple, flat, plummy/metallic-minerally flavors, with a toasty, resiny, low acid, almost cloying finish.  Flabby and not very Zin-typical.
Score:  74.
Cellar or drink?  Neither, really.
Price/store:  $16.99 at Whole Foods on Bellaire.
