SMELL: sweet berry smells all around that isn't overbearing.
TASTE: this is a very balanced zin, not overly complex. it doesn't blast you with a variety of berries. it finishes nicely having you ready for another sip.

This was somewhat a disappointment compared to the 2007 I had recently. Maybe it's just too young at this point? Too tannic and not enough Zin components...

Not decanted, consumed over 60 minutes. Dark with black fruits alongside some spice and wood notes. Good acid levels and a bit raisiny but not overripe, if that makes sense. I do like this, but it eventually took on a bitter edge by the end of the hour.

I thought it was a pleasant zinfandel. Not overly complex; had some fruit and a little tannin. Would consume soon.
