Local zin is a good one

We went to a tasting at Bottle Jack/ Silver Mountain last weekend. Having done the Silver Mountain tasting a few months ago we opted for Bottle Jack this time- it also helped that we had a comped tasting from the owner. Even if it was not free, this place had been on my radar to visit as I had tried a couple of the wines at events and was really impressed. We took home a 2015 zin  -$ 29 at the winery. This is more than I usually spend for a weekend wine, or any wine for that matter but since they had spotted us the tasting ( which included six wines and was excellent ) I figured that buying a couple of bottles was the right thing to do- especially as the wines were top notch.
The zin is not huge but still very flavorful- keeps you wanting more. It is really ready to drink and not in need of cellaring in my opinion. I'll give it 8 1/2 swiggs- go by and do a tasting- you won't be disappointed.
