this is a captain america-sized zin, muscular and strong in walls of huge, dusty dark fruit. firm in tannins, juicy and swirling in vanilla and cinnamon toast flavors, it spent 22 months swaddled in french oak, an imprint that lets itself be known in the wine. lay this baby down until 2015 or so, or let it breathe before enjoying with racks of ribs.
