Cardinal Zin

Cardinal Zin Wine Details
Price:

Description: Deep ruby color. A slightly smoky nose from the first hit, owing to the very discreet oak treatment, one presumes, followed hard on by lots of red fruit – chiefly brambleberry, mulberry and some very engaging hints of mint and chocolate. The mouth reprises the nose, but there is real depth there and (if I am not greatly mistaken) a real quality of minerality that gives the wine a sort of moral center. It is my presumption that this quality derives from the very profound root system of these exceptionally hoary vines. Very soft mouthfeel, medium acidity and a refreshing, clean finish.
