(2006)Decanted for an hour or so and came back to a nice wine. Really a well put together wine. Dried leafs and raspberry fruit leather on the the nose. Soft tannin with a long finish. Delicious.

Dry raspberries and plums upfront. Then an earthy mild leather dark fruit middle. Then that mild black pepper Zinfandel finish.

This is the way Zinfandel is supposed to be done. Even after more than a decade in the bottle, fresh as new, none of the Port-like flavors often found in other Zins at that age.
