    June 24, 2019 - Slightly lighter style Zinfandel. Red fruit, wood smoke, and a touch of balsamic. Decent acidity. This feels open on the palate and completely resolved -- maybe doesn't have the palate intensity that some will look for. Quite good though.

    December 28, 2018 - Wonderful powerful yet subtle rub of flavors, opened after 30 minutes decanting

    June 9, 2018 - Medium to deep ruby red. Complex nose with layers of anise, a bit savory, bramble berries, floral, a touch blue too with some plums and black pepper. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus body. Dark cocoa on the palate with some licorice, cinnamon, dark red berries that grows darker and layered spices. Long finish. Drink till 2025.

    February 17, 2018 - Very light for a Zinfandel on opening. After decanting and getting air for an hour it tasted of darker fruits and much of the acidity had smoothed out. Fantastic QPR.
