As a 2018, this is drinking great already. Deep ruby garnet, almost opaque, in the glass. Already effusive with sarasparilla, brown sugar, walnut husk, and cherry jubilee and Santa Rosa plum. This is what Zin should be, powerfully rendered and expressive yet not overripe or cooked. On the palate the fruit dances with smoldering tobacco and cedar humidor notes, finishing with fine tannins and vibrant acidity throughout. Damn that's good.
