mayo knows how to make sweetish zins that should be dry. here's their effort at an outrightly sweet zin, and it ain't bad. curranty, raisiny aromas lead to cassis and blackberry jam flavors that are immensely ripe, and the sugar level is dessert-high. it's warmly satisfying. try with, or over, vanilla ice cream, and be happy. —s.h.
