Dark berry nose, not as jammy on the palate as the nose suggests, body is a little thinner than I'd expect from a dry creek zin, but pretty silky mouthfeel, fairly short finish with moderate structure. Not bad for $16.

Hits the back of tongue hard, a little on the hotter side, deep and dark flavors, not much fruit to it. I imagine would go really well with any meats

A perfect example of Dry Creek Zinfandel. No sensation of heat, despite the 15% ABV.

Very drinkable. On the drier side.

Big zin. Beautiful nose of chocolate and blackberry. On the palate it is rich and smooth with some pepper showing through the silky, dark fruit. Grilled ny strips was a fine pairing.
