Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity on the nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and easy drinking.
Showing red and black fruits with light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, peppercorn, cola, Mediterranean spices and light licorice.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Single Vineyard Zinfandel from Napa Valley. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and complex. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with burger and fries.
14.9% alcohol by volume.

Still looks young, high acidity keeps it fresh. So different from an Hermitage! — 3 months ago

Really good wine but remembered it better. Maybe I aerated it too well but lacked some of its usual smooth punch. — 5 days ago
