Plummy purple red in color, dense pigment extraction. Cherry raspberry flavors with a hint of prune in aftertaste, light to moderate skin astringency. Good acidity

2017. Picked up a couple of Zinfandel for a pasta and meatballs lunch. This wine was drinking really well. I think the large percentage of Petite Sirah kept it from being overblown and made it more interesting.

Notes of cherry and blueberry with hints of rose. A bite of acid and tannins on the finish.

Not impressed. Maybe too young but aerated and let sit and still didn’t really open up.
