Very lively on the front end and bursting with raspberries as the dominant flavor, with herbal notes. Round pleasing tannins that are well balanced for the long finish. Best with robust food...BBQ probably

Blackberry, black olive, earth and leather. Rosemary? Still showing a generous measure of fruit. Initially, there's even still a tart element to the finish, but this gives way to more sanguine elements after the first hour. Not much diminished since my last tasting score 4 years ago.

This is a very, very good Zin. I agree entirely with CDT’s comments - two reviews back:
“Dark ruby in colour with aromas of sweet black fruit, dusty earth & herbs(sage?). On the palate, full bodied juicy black fruit, boysenberry/blackberry, sweet tobacco, leather, dusty earth, cherry kirsch, medium acidity, medium soft tannins with a long finish to black pepper & chocolate. Very tasty & easy to drink Zinfandel.”
This Zinfandel is so well balanced that it has a great range of pairing and/or can be drunk by itself. Extremely pleased with this wine.

Full bodied but fruit component somewhat subdued. Nearing end of life

Perfect time, smooth and delicious, with nice spice. Tannins and pepper mellowed out.
Had with marinated pork chops.
