In a delicious spot, walking the tightrope of meat/beef bullion, while still having great fruit. Shy at first, then a great drink until it started to fade a bit. — 4 years ago

Beef bullion on the nose and then bursting with bright red fruit and plenty of tannins. Drinking very young and could use quite a bit of air time yet. — 8 years ago

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red and black fruits on the nose with tobacco leaf, light oak, chocolates and light forest floor.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black plums, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, chocolates, herbs, light alcohol, spices and light earth.

Long finish with fine grained tannins, raspberries and spices.

This is a very tasty and easy drinking Zinfandel. Fruit forward and rich. Complex and entertaining with a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, spicy and tangy.

Needs an hour in the decanter to open up and show the nose.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with a burger and fries.

N:Big & beefy, like very dark tomatoes and bullion. Earth! Lots of it, liquorice,
Always changing.
P: Big Cherries wrapped in ash. Liquorice, lively acidity and drying but delicate tannins. Chewy in the best way.
A delirious meal in n a glass.
A friend says smells like chicken shawarma.!!!
