8.7

Well made, with a warm, summery quality - raspberry, plum, earth on the nose, good structure on palate. Not up to the level of the 2014 in my book. — 3 days ago

Found this surprisingly restrained for the type. A rich cinnamon note on the nose, which lingers. Meaty and spicy. Benefits from breathing. Good effort, and worth the $41. — a month ago

Graphite, dark fruit, spice, alcohol. Good, not great. This could have been more sophisticated with a little less alcohol and little more finesse. — 3 months ago

AEL

8.7

Powerful raspberry, lemon and other citrus nose. Has a welcome raw, unrefined quality. Sharp on palate, with a sour, potent mouthfeel. Great complexity for this price range. Points for being interesting, but ultimately it's completely unbalanced. — 6 days ago

Raspberries, bark, leather on the nose. Sweet on the palate. Well made. — a month ago

AEL

8.9

Highly floral and sweet, with raspberry and strawberry notes and an underlying meaty element. A well made red in a lighter style. — 3 months ago

Good for the price ($15). Funky berry and mushroom/earth nose. Ripe on the palate. — 12 days ago

AEL

8.8

Well worth the $20 I paid. Meaty, charred notes, with a raspberry note as well. Medium weight on the palate, refreshingly normal level of alcohol. — a month ago

AEL

8.7

Notable for the lean style - nice to see in a Zinfandel. Fruit is there, but also a cola and vegetal note that works well. — 2 months ago

8.7

Plum, blackberry, maybe a hint of lemon on the nose. Heavy on the palate in a good way. Good, but not too exciting. About right at $20. — 3 months ago
