The 2001 Zin is a classic
example of the Marietta
winemaking style. Ripe
jammyness, complimented
by balanced soft tannins
allow for a huge, "fruit-forward"
style wine. This is a
wine that will compliment
a wide variety of foods
ranging from spicy appetizers
to prime cut steak to
fresh fruit and cheese
desserts. Aromatically,
this wine offers a lush,
ripe nose full of sweet
raspberriers and black
pepper complimented with
hints of oak and earthy
tar. It subsequently
saturates the palate
with raspberries, blackberries,
and a touch of swet oak.
A nice dollop of fruity
tannin and black pepper
spice hold and extend
the flavors through to
a "lip-smacking" finish.
