Typical of Dry Creek style. Lean, good acid for Zin, minimal fruit. Great restraint and subtlety.

Not big nor fruity, which is what I like in a Zinfandel.

Very yummy. Smells of bubble gum and red licorice. Paid nicely with a homemade Hostess Cupcake cookie. A lite spice, but full body fruit with plum aftertaste.

Earthiness over fruit with fuller than usual body. A bit of smoky leather in the finish.

Enjoyed this so much with the hubby that I forgot to get a photo of the wine in my glass🍷
Deep flavor, pairs well with pasta ala vodka!
