Nose
Billowing nose of rose perfume, potpourri, and Chinese five-spice precedes a lush backdrop of Bing cherry cola. Blue, black, and vibrant red fruit notes derive from adjacent Mickey’s and Rosemary’s blocks, softening into cherry and raspberry and ultimately revealing Westside’s characteristic strawberry bouquet.
Palate
An evocative citrus element of orange Creamsicle (which occurs periodically in our Zins) mixes with traces of cocoa nib, cigar box, and flint. Mouthfeel is silky, generous, and remarkably elegant—a timeless beauty.Billowing nose of rose perfume, potpourri, and Chinese five-spice precedes a lush backdrop of Bing cherry cola.
