R2R wines are full of expression, pushing to each rail while staying in control, maintaining a balance. They are about elation from sun and surf or great food and excellent company or whatever makes you feel like you’re momentarily off the grid.
Pronounced black cherry, plum, and black raspberry move into notes of leather and black pepper on the nose. The cherry and plum components mingle with traces of leather building to a fresh cracked pepper finish. Soft tannins make the wine very approachable, and the highlights of spice give it some nice pizzazz. Spicy pasta dishes or boldly seasoned ribs would make excellent company for this Zin.

An alumni of Sonoma State University, being in the heart of wine country only furthered the fascination and appreciation Jason had for the majestic drink. Now, as FBWorld.com’s wine editor, he hopes to convince people who claim to not like wine that they simply haven’t tried the right bottle yet. He also does not understand why more twenty-somethings don’t drink wine and wants to promote their appreciation for the stuff.
