blackberries, and hints of black pepper.

The ’02 Zin is a classic example
of the Marietta winemaking style. Ripe jammyness,
complimented by balanced and delicate 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 fresh fruit
and cheese desserts. This wine is ideal for both restaurant
pours and fine dining at home as the wine is versatile
and pleasing in its own right.
