Winemaker Peter Leske has made only 80 cases of this 16% alcohol Zin, and, however unconvential a variety for Australia, it is a noble effort. Medium-bodied with a gummy, resiny texture, the palate offers sweet red fruit, plus a smooth mineral-woody overlay. Finishes a little hot, but with nice caramel and earth notes, and some drying tannins. - D.M.
