Sassy and saucy, with raisin, blueberry, pepper and earth aromas. Kent Rosenblum has crafted a wine that, within its class, is well above average, and we challenge you to find Zin this authentic for this price. What it lacks in nuance is made up for in girth and guts. It’s chewy and rich, and it becomes more complex with each minute spent in the glass. Nothing weedy or green here, and the mouthfeel rocks.——M.S.(11/15/2004)—— 87
