78/20/2 blend of Zinfandel, Petit sirah and Carignane. Purple, moderately extracted pigment, very good clarity. Raspberry and black currant notes in nose. Tart cherry and blackberry flavors; needs time to open for fruit, acidity. Mild skin tannins on finish, acids soften with opening. Prune note in nose emerges after 30 minutes.

Fresh raspberry, vanilla, some spice/mocha/ some bramble fruit. Lighter extraction and a lower alc than expected. Pretty crushable, actually

Great Zin! Plums, blackberry, pepper notes, and a bit smoky.

Light and subtle for a Zin, fruit driven. This is a great wine!

Drinking well, excellent ageing potential. Would love to taste in 2 years when it’s more layered. Flavours of dried strawberries, stewed plums... starting to show tertiary characteristics of sweet tobacco. Recommend.

A beautiful zin with balance and flavor to spare. Perfect with my classic Bibb lettuce and roasted chicken. Happy pairing indeed!

Very good just young. Bursting fresh cranberries and raspberries strained through steak tartare. Worth seeking out
