Fantastic, rich, full bodied. Amazingly smooth. Extreme Berry’s with a hint of chocolate in the finish. Scott Harvey at his best

After three wonderful Iron Horse wines, this was a sensational wrap up for Labor Day weekend. We love the way Scott’s Zinfandels age.

Dark cherries aroma. Initial burst of cherries then raspberries then pepper then a dry quick finish.

Opened it about an hour before drinking, and that made all the difference. Lovely, but not as complex as some Old Vines. I suspect 2012 didn’t quite have all the magic.

With turkey, chestnut stuffing, and a rich gravy, one needs a big Zinfandel like this. Three of us polished off the magnum with no effort. 😃
