Tasty baked fruit flavors: cherry compote, raisins, dried figs, little bit of caramel. Not as much glycerine in the mouthfeel as I usually associate with port-like wines, nor the body. Almost like a halfway point between table wine and fortified dessert wine.

I am not generally a fan of ports, as they are more liquor than wine in my estimation. That said, port does have its place as a social sipper following a large meal.

This Zinfandel based effort tastes like an excellent Amador Zin but super concentrated; thick blackberry and blueberry tones flowed by a tingly alcoholic finish.
