A massive, low-toned bruiser of a Zin.Fully-saturated, black black black ruby. Deep nose of black raspberry preserves, a tangy vegetal/rhubarby component, and dark minerals. Huge body (the label says 15.1% alcohol), and some alcoholic heat in the finish, this is the sort of wine that needs to be drunk over the next 18 months, before the alcohol burns through the fruit. This should go really well with hearty stews this winter. B+. Was $16 and change (if I'm remembering correctly) from Total Wine in McLean, VA.
