Pleasant. Lots of fruity flavours. No noticeable tannins. Went well with BBQ pork ribs. Will need to drink the last bottle soon.

Did not enjoy this. Simple, unexciting, unrefined, tart, bitter, none of the elements that make a good zin enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, I've had some way worse wines in my time, but I took nothing good away from this and it was DEFINITELY not worth the entry fee!

A very nice wine... more mellow than before. Less smoky but plenty of red fruit.

The bouquet was full of jammy blueberry and blackberry, like you just poured it into your nose. ...or like you fell face first into a vat of freshly picked fruit. The palate, like many DeLoach wines, didn't agree with the nose. The spice that comes from aging in American oak came across the palate, dominating the black fruits so prominent on the nose.

An excellent Zin. A gentle explosion of dark red fruit - this one is fab on its own or great with a zesty italian dinner.

Rich nose of raspberry liqueur with a hint of caramelized rhubarb, somewhat sweet nose. The palate is also rich, not jammy, full bodied with some spicy notes towards finish. Pretty thich black fruits, almost Syrah-like. This is an interesting bottle, and I think I like it.

Good. Don't know how much it was to determine value, but good.
