This is an amazing wine let alone a Zinfandel! Rich red and dark red fruit plus well integrated spice all nicely balanced in an intense, but beautiful pour. Great mouthfeel, purity, and aftertaste. It's really drinking well right now.

Definitely the best Rhone white wine I have ever tasted. It is soft yet full of white fruit flavors. There is a creamy element as well. I could find no weaknesses at all in this most excellent wine. We chilled our bottle and then allowed it to warm a bit in a decanter. It really helps for the flavors to burst out.

And while you are at it, Niagara sparkling wines have also come a long way!

Tasted over-oxidized. Cork seemed ok.
