Wine Spectator #7 Wine of the Year 2010. Scents of raspberries and blueberries intertwined with briar patch spices. Ripe raspberry and blueberry flavors persist. A hint of creamy oak and a silky and refined texture with a juicy character. Juicy acidity and integrated tannins smooth the finish.

That stewed character I get with Zinfandel right there, preserve blackberry and plum, whisky lactobes and char. High alcohol.

Who says Zin isn’t age-worthy? 2004 drinking like a dream in 2018 on a casual home made pizza night in the mountains. Sweet berry fruit singing the high notes with baking spices dropping the bass. The well balanced acid helps the 15.3% alcohol delay its announcement until very late on the long gorgeous finish.
