Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A new brand that has just released three new Zins. This one is not the best. It’s hot and soft, with syrupy cherry and blackberry flavors.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dry, soft and earthy, with modest cherry, cocoa and cedar flavors that finish in a swirl of hard tannins. Drink now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rich in blackberry, currant, bacon, mocha, spice and cedar flavors, and thoroughly dry. But it’s a little too soft, which makes the tannins stick out. Drink now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Nice and dry, with black currant, orange rind, anise, tobacco, cocoa and spice flavors. But the wine lacks vivacity and zest, and so loses a few points.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
An awkward wine. High alcohol can work in Zin, but not in this one. It has hot, jalapeño pepper flavors along with cherry and blackberry, and even though the official reading is 15.6%, there seems to be residual sugar and deficient acidity.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Very good, savory Amador Zin, exuberantly rich in briary mountain wild blackberry, blueberry and loganberry flavors, with a huge dusting of spice: white pepper, black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and, for the finale, a sweet dose of crème de cassis-laced cola. Yet the wine is thoroughly dry. Shows Zin’s ability to combine rusticity with elegance.
