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!

We first tried this at Joe Allen’s in London and enjoyed it’s depth and easy drinking style. I just had to try to find a supplier after that and now buy it regularly.
