The label has a nice tree on it. That seems to be a thing for the labels down there in Paso. Bottle is heavy duty for aging I guess. 5 year old Zin qualifies as aged no doubt. Cool is classic CA Zin with bright red and a hint of rusty edge. Nose has that jammy and pie crust aroma expected in Zinfandel from warm spots. Flavors are chewy and dense. There is that smoked cherry cordial deal there, but also some roasted red peppers and salted fruit flavored licorice. bar-b-qued pork ribs. This is excellent Zin. A classic representation of the good ones.
