Hi octane & over extracted monster w/only faint resemblance to Zinfandel. Almost exclusively fruit focused, yes there is an impressive depth of flavor here but it hits you over the head. Well built tannic structure and red berry fruit delivery to short-ish finish.

Big bouquet of berries. Burst upfront of berries and raspberries and peppery spices. Then a quick fade to a long dry finish. Let it open as it gets spicier.

Nice Zin. A little grapey. Tastes very similar to a Cline Farmhouse Red. Therefore, not worth the price
