Deep purple in color with a wide purplish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn and pencil lead.
Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with sweet cherries, plums, black currants, coffee, oak, cloves, light alcohol, earth, spices, peppercorn, tobacco and herbs.
Medium plus on the finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.
This Sonoma Zinfandel is always enjoyable. Drinking nicely now and will be better in the next few years.
Spicy and bold with mild complexity. Still very fruity, and needs a few years in the bottle to chill out.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up.

Dec 23rd, 2018Packed with fruit but also acidity and tannins to balance it. Perfect with a grilled ribeye and a mushroom/wine reduction sauce. A California classic zin.
