Red cherry and plum preserves throughout. Wood smoke and iodine on the nose. Super-ripe and plushly textured with a welcome faint acid tinge followed by a dusting of spice and licorice on the truncated finish. Nice pair for pork barbecue.

One of the well-balanced Zinfandels. Not super jammy, not too spicy. A Dry Creek Classic. Good pairing for the skirt steak / chimichuri entrees.

Blackberries, dark chocolate and freshly ground spices: cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns, black pepper. Seems to be more balanced compared with older vintages, but is fairly light on tannins.

Lack of tannic presence made it feel a bit out of balance. Pretty good otherwise though.
