Voluptuous and luscious Napa ZIN, boasting a profoundness of flavor with undertones of cherry tobacco, chocolate, and rich fruit. The taste is well-balanced, with a conclusion that offers a intense plum and caramel character, leaving a pleasing aftertaste. A delightful wine to savor.

Rich, soft consistency with a deep, concentrated red hue. Aromas of opulent berry fruits and subtle herb spices mingle with a suggestion of earthy undertones, blended by a subtle tanginess. The impression unfolds with a decadent tapestry of blackberry and ripe cherry flavors, accented by a warm black pepper spice, round vanilla, and a mild earthy sweetness. The tannins are soft and supple, yielding a medium+ finale that resonates with fruit, spice, and a hint of oak.

Velvety and refined, with a silky smoothness that fills the palate. Earthy background notes of oak, dried herbs, and cooked fruit mingle with a soft tobacco note, in contrast well-integrated tannins provide a long, fulfilling finish.
