@Remi Barrett , hells yes. This is a pure gem of a zin. Super bold yet supple fruits. Not spicy at all. So rounded and mouth filling for a zin. Loved this.

My favorite Zinfandel. Try it with lamb or anything savory. Very slightly dry, with some hints of spice and good acidity.

Not quite my style of Zin, bit softer than expected. Jam preserves and a hint of brick. Love the color on this youngin'

Good mouth feel for the price point, don't see that often in mid priced zins. Supple but not overbearing fruit (plum and dark berry) and nice lingering finish. Was as good as it was getting from the lounge at Shoreline amphitheater.

Fresh plum, juicy raspberry and strawberry, licorice, and red flowers. A hint of sweet spices from neutral oak. Moderate plus acid, medium (minus) smooth tannins, full body.

Roses, fried flowers, cassis... On the palate alcohol but softness with smokey-oaky finish. Very nice :-)

Monthly wine group meet up. This month's theme was non-typical reds from Napa. Wines were tasted blind. Always a great time. 👌
I've had this before and I'm in agreement with my initial thoughts...no doubt a well made wine, just not my preference in zin. I tasted a lot of cranberry on this, along with rhubarb and black cherry. A bit of white pepper but not spicy. One of the few zins from the night that could age nicely. Bravo, @Benjamin Keator !

Not huge on Zinfandel, but this one is great. Forget the inky, sweet, fruit bomb, this is light on its feet with spice and complexity from some age. Out of a magnum is a plus too.
