True to its name, the Opaque Paso Robles Zinfandel 2014 is, well, opaque. Aside from that the nose is deliciously expressive. Rife with steeped blackberries and plums, anise, cedar, and chocolate mint. Expect a wallop of freshly ground black pepper on the nose and on the palate. The attack is full-bodied and lush, enlivened by pitched acidity and yes, more of that intense spice character coming through right at the finish. BBQ, anyone? Sample | 15.5% ABV

Robin and I loved this one. Blind tasting, I would have guessed as a bid CA zin heavy blend. Delish! Enjoyed from Off the Vine in San Pedro.
