Deep dark fruit on the nose with a light smooth finish. Very drinkable Zin.

I like this even though it is very un-Zinfandel. Maybe I opened too young. It presents more like a Sonoma Pinot more than a Zin. Red berries and tart. Lovely, but not what I was expecting.

After the 8 days, this seemed like a lightweight. Not in bad way, just a little more nuanced. Solid.

Smooth, velvety, complex. Vanilla on the back. Dark fruit. Delightful from beginning to end.
