Ok, we bought this because of the name. But, it's good! There's some good zin in Napa County although it's not the big attraction. Brown has a nice piece of land outside of the valley and apparently good things happen there.Dusty, big dark fruits up front. Bouquet initially tickles the nose, but mellows out with time. Some green tobacco and cherries evolve after the initial alcohol burns off. I tried this guy after opening and it was a bit stiff. I came back three hours later and it was a sweet surprise. Time and air does good things this guy. Also make sure to consume from a larger bowl glass.
Taste the cherry pie and light black pepper. Good solid zin here. After time, this one ranks up with Four Vines Biker and Ridge Lytton Springs, almost.
T-scale 90. Available, but a little pricey at $34.00. Great zin, everything you want in a big forward red in the American style.
