This wine is medium-dark ruby in color, fairly opaque with some light getting through. Its nose and palate are both perfumed with jammy, dark fruit and peppery spices. After sitting in the glass for a few minutes, a gorgeous aroma of smoke appears and more savory note comes to the tongue. Cedar and vanilla play a role, but the oak aging is overdone in such a dramatic way, it's hard to complain. This is still a great Zinfandel, so expressive despite the heavy-hand in the cellar.

Deep dark ruby coloration. On the nose, cherry, currants, cedar, anise and chocolate. On the palate, complex and layered. Cedar, vanilla, plum, raspberry and cherry with hints of chocolate, and a long finish dominated by vanilla. Medium body with very present tannins.
