100% late harvested Zin from the Benito Dusi Ranch (a great vineyard). Nose was port-like, with rich, slightly syrupy fruity, but without the whiff of the impending alcohol you’re about to feel when drinking port. On the palate, nice, slightly-raisined fruity, slightly-to-medium sweet (I forgot to write down the percentage of residual sugar), nice finish. A nice oddball dinner-ender.
