Nose has some fruit elements and a bit of oak. Fruit flavors of raspberry, blueberry, cherry and blackberry. All the fruits mix well with none overpowering another. Raspberry does come through a bit more but the cherry keeps the sweetness from coming out too much. This is accompanied by medium toasted oak flavors and a medium spice that is not too strong but lingers long after the sip. Tannins are minimal which allows the others flavors to shine through. Overall the wine is well balanced and very enjoyable. Excellent choice for anyone looking for a fruit forward wine with medium oak and spice.

1994 DeLoach Zinfandel OFS. Dark tarry nose, but sweet and very long plummy finish. Delicious.

Very aromatic, tons of red fruit. Opened up beautifully with decanting. Probably drank it a little young, but no complaints.
