Dense purple in color. Blackberry, orange fig herb and soda water in nose. Blackberry and skin tannins in mouth. Tasty, not syrupy or thick, but can use another 3-5 years of aging.

Not sure why this vintage has received only fair reviews on CellarTracker, but this is a solid bottle of Zinfandel showing rich purple and black fruits, some mild spice and pepper notes, and enough complexity to hold interest. Air seems to help it unfurl a bit. There’s a little alcoholic warmth in the finish, but this is not a jammy zin by any means. The ‘12 was better, but this is quite enjoyable and I’m happy to have another in the cellar.
