Zin isn't something I spend money on. I don't like high alcohol wines and to me most are just too bombastic. I look for subtly and elegance. I realize there are always folks who might be bucking the trend and I've tasted a few, but as a category, its not somewhere I go.

Different strokes....

...sounds like pinot noir to me.

Syrah is like a bigger zin (with less spice) to me.

And then there is petit syrah...

Zin is my favorite - no food required - some are less bombastic.

  See we are talking about two different kinds of wine...I almost always eat when drinking wine...completely different thing.
  Syria's can be made in such different styles...I certainly don't think of them as bigger than Zins. Well maybe Australian ones from hot places.
  
  And yeah....Pinot...love it. Although finding good ones are hard. Especially ones that I can afford. I tend to prefer Oregon over Ca and France over Or. But there are always exceptions to the rules.
