Nice mellow Zinfandel. Not peppery, but still tasty.

Nose has a sweetness and distant oak characteristics. Flavors have a small tobacco flavor yet predominant smoke texture. Underneath there are quality cherry, mild raspberry and plum flavors with a medium spice that lingers. Overall, medium body, quality spice, smoky oak. Great flavor for the price. Comparable with more tobacco and smoke: Mad Duck.
