Inky deep purple in color. Strawberry fruit leather on nose. Raspberry jam in mouth with lingering menthol and blackberry. Not too alcoholic, not too tannic, not too acidic - fruit forward, but could use a bit less oak on the finish .

I really like this sweeter wine from Stephanie and Josh's wedding. I got more black fruit flavors with vanilla than typical for a zinfandel.

I let this one decant for about two hours. Very smooth and sweet on the front end. Hints of plum, cherries and chocolate. Back end is dry and oaky.
