Bramble berry, sour cherry, slight rubber, vanilla cream, cedar, spice, soft tannins, moderate abv for zin @14.7 and nice acid. Maybe just a touch too much new oak for me, but definitely ribeye worthy.

Still a stunner. Mellow but concentrated fruit flavors, nice acidity and a medium finish. In a sweet spot right now.

Not a big Zinfandel fan but this had enough acid along with not over ripe fruits. Will come back to this wine again and again.

2018 vintage. Old-school zin. Lip-smacking with both fruit and structure in balance. Will easily provide and care for a decade+. Dense medium-heavy body with massive dark/black fruit components. Dunno why Zin ever strayed and became unfaithful to this style. Those cheaters have nothing but regrets.
