We've never been huge zin fans, but this winery in this vintage got it right. Spicy and great acidity. (Cedarville usually gets it right).

Nice red fruit, warm spice and white pepper nose. Soft raspberry and strawberry front palate with a plum, light tobacco and oaky finish. Excellent structure.

Briars, spicy black fruits with some lightly toasted oak underpinning, nice balance, medium-long finish, very solid Zinfandel!!

Berry and redfruits aromas and flavors, really nicely balanced with a long finish, doesn’t much show the alcohol (a GOOD thing to me with Zinfandel), very well-done!!

This bottle of 09 is showing so well.... Sure, not the juicy red raspberry and spice of a baby Zin, but wow the layers of brambly black raspberry, brown spice, and nice toffee sweetness of the fancy French oak lavished on this sophisticated Sierra Zin..... So nice!!
