4.5 stars (out of 5)
We discovered XYZin, a subsidiary of Geyser Peak Winery, on our last trip to California. This has quickly become one of my favorite zins – and I’m a zin gal, so that’s not something to be taken lightly. After nearly 18 months in the cellar, I actually opened this one (purists, cover your eyes) for cooking. I am pleased to report that it was the best beef burgundy stew I’ve ever made.
Luckily, there was some left over for drinking too. Here’s what we found:
• Color: Deep dark burgundy in color, nearly black
• Nose: Raspberry, chocolate, and earth
• Flavors: Blackberry, dark cherries, raisins
• A little hot on the finish with well-balanced tannins.
