Dark berry nose, not as jammy on the palate as the nose suggests, body is a little thinner than I'd expect from a dry creek zin, but pretty silky mouthfeel, fairly short finish with moderate structure. Not bad for $16.

Hits the back of tongue hard, a little on the hotter side, deep and dark flavors, not much fruit to it. I imagine would go really well with any meats

A perfect example of Dry Creek Zinfandel. No sensation of heat, despite the 15% ABV.

Big zin. Beautiful nose of chocolate and blackberry. On the palate it is rich and smooth with some pepper showing through the silky, dark fruit. Grilled ny strips was a fine pairing.
