| Following a headliner like the 11th Rack is not an easy act, but the 12th Rack is definitely a clean break. With a bright nose of brambly blackberries with cocoa dust, this Zin shows no mercy as it runs the palate with tart blackberries, creamy coffee-vanilla richness, and a solid tannin structure that could hold any table at the local pool hall for hours. This wine runs every corner of your tongue like every pocket on the table, and doesn't let up until the classic Zin finish that practically climbs it's way back up your tongue, looking for the eight ball. |
