Styled with the weight of a fine Cabernet, with modulated alcohol and tannins and a full-bodied but elegant texture. But it’s Zin all the way, with the blast of briary, wild berry flavors, pepper and other spices. Seems to have a little bit of residual sugar in the finish that makes it ideal for sauce-slathered barbecue. ——S.H.(9/1/2003)—— 88
