Lots of black fruit, nutmeg, and mocha with ample amounts of smoky maple syrup. This has seen a lot of oak... it starts taking over the nose, palate, and finish with aeration.

A bit fruity, but not too heavily fruity. Would buy again.

I was really looking forward to this Lodi Zinfandel... Opened the bottle and got some nice dark fruit aromas, gave it some air, waited for its evolution and the Oak aromas came in; literally. Im disappointed to say it became wood juice; everything else disappeared only the woody aroma and flavor was left. Got to feel typical the spiciness at the end but my experience had already been ruined.
