This may be improving with age, although it's hard to be sure. It shows powerful black fruit on the nose and palate - boysenberry, blackberry, etc., with black and white pepper and a hint of vanilla on the medium to long finish, with moderate tannins and strong acidity. This was an excellent value at under $50.

Love the flavors and refined style of this Zinfandel; weight is medium bodied not heavy, nice black and red fruit but not overly jammy; nice spice and white pepper; nice acidity and nice mild tannins on the finish.

No specific notes. Blackberry, black currant, and notes of bramble and peppery spices, with moderate to strong tannins and good acidity. Although this is excellent Zinfandel, I'm glad I only paid $50 instead of $60+; at the lower price it's a very good value, at the higher one it's average to good.

Enjoyable, but don't see a reason to hold longer (or, frankly, this long)

Dark purple in color. Blackberries, blueberries and white pepper on the palate. Terrific body and structure.
