This wine has a nose of brambly blackberries with cocoa dust and shows no mercy as it runs the palate with tart blachberries, 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 sorner of your tongue like every pocket on the table, and doesn't let up until the classic Zin finish that practically climbs its way bakc up your tongue, looking for the eight ball.
