2017 Theory Z
2017 Theory Z
Description
Theory Z (a Kitsune) shape-shifting our traditional Theory 3 GSM into a ZSM! Big brambly nose followed by waves of cherry, plum, and spice – this is a beautiful blend showcasing Zin’s ability to stand head to head with Grenache. Zin’s elegant fruit balances the dark berry, anise, and spice of Mourvedre and big jammy Syrah. Watch out, Theory Z might slash your current favorite a notch down on your list of top wines.
