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.

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.

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.

Great balance. This was a pnp at an after party I hosted. Didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. It went well with a quick batch of braised veal nachos.

PnP, and had with pizza dinner with family. Tasty wine, fairly full bodied with dark red fruit. Soft tannins. Tasty and a crowd pleaser. Well made in a style I like. I could even be light on my 89 points

Wow big hit of red fruit on entry—plum, cherry, strawberry. Sadly, almost syrupy, though, not sweetish like many fruit forward wines can be. Very mellow on the tannin. Not a particularly “big” wine in spite of its 15% ABV. It’s not an awful wine, but it lacks sophistication and I won’t be seeking more.

Big and ripe. Dark Red, a little on the soft side...a hint more acid and this would be a home run. Still pretty tasty and easy tp drink

Enjoyable, bright, balanced Zinfandel. Not sure I would buy again (or any Zin, really) at this price, though.
