I thought that I would do some writing, but I was slowly seduced by this delectable she-beast of a wine that my thoughts soon just got swept away like sand at the beach during high tide.  This wine is spicy and filled with blackberry and raspberry, but the spice is more on the order of what you pay extra for, being a combination of allspice and nutmeg.  It wanders over your tongue so eloquently imparting essence of leather and tobacco over an undercurrent of dark fruit.

This is a wine that allows you to sit back and look at life through different colored lenses, letting you see things for what they truly are and not letting other emotions get in the way.  This is a great wine and should be recognized as such. While it isn't my favorite Zin, it has thrown its hat into the ring.  I am wondering what it would taste like with five years of aging.
