As a fan of US “Zin’s” I find many of them just too full of alcohol (14.5%+). This lovely example misses nothing for being a much more drinkable 13.5%. A good, full mouthfeel with plenty of richness and the smooth rich fruitiness I would expect. The only problem is just how easily it slides down the throat!
