This is a delicious Zinfandel from Napa Valley. Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices, mocha, black coffee, cola and peppercorn.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with a tangy finish.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly, balance itself out and remove the jaminess. Good right out of the bottle too.
Very enjoyable by itself or with food like a burger and fries.
Aged for 12 months in American oak barrels. 100% Zinfandel grapes.

For my 200th Zinfandel review on vivino, here is a beautiful one from Napa Valley.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, cedar, leather, licorice, vanilla, espresso, cola, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, alcohol, black pepper and spices.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, raisins, maple, chocolates, coke, coffee, spices, vanilla, cedar, licorice, eucalyptus and peppercorn.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Zinfandel from Napa Valley. Strong and fruit forward, without being too jammy. Feels like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.
Well balanced with nice complexity. Big, yet elegant. Showing a great mouthfeel with a spicy finish.
Good right out of the bottle and good by itself or with food, and will very nicely with a nice burger.
I'd love to revisit it in 3 years. A good quality wine.
100% Zinfandel grapes were aged in oak barrels for 12 months (45% new American Oak ).
