Delish with classic family dish of sweet and sour red cabbage, thyme cream potatoes and prime rib. Nice elegant and bright zin. Lean but full of rich raspberry, strawberry, pomegranate and white pepper notes.

Wayyyy to oaky. Doesn't seem like it has the fruit necessary to ever integrate properly either.

Big and jammy with nice oaky spice and vanilla. Lacked a little on the mid palate but the finish was long and saved it

2012 vintage. Redolent of fresh raspberry, boysenberry and vanilla spice. Succulent and yummy. 100% Zinfandel from old vines.

Delicious! Got this as a Christmas gift. Wouldn’t normally buy on my own, but I’m delightfully surprised. Great wine at the price point.
