Decanted for a short time. Great aroma of dark fruit and vanilla when poured. Just yummy. Medium body. Really hit it's stride about hour 3. Great balance. Dark fruit, juicy acids and fine tannins. Long finish. Really enjoyed this Sierra foothills Zinfandel.

Pop'nPour, nearly the same as my prior note. The oak is more prominent but integrated with the fruit. A very good example of the fruity polished oaky style. Generally not my style but what makes it worth drinkng (besides the price) is the excellent balance that keeps it from causing palate fatigue.

Screw top, screwed and poured. Cherries and cacao on the nose. Palate is initially overwhelmed by vanilla and smoky oak. With air this recedes and reveals boozy, bourbon mixed with cherry cough syrup. Not recommended.

I fiund this hidden in the cellar and was surprised at how well it is still drinking. Great fruit and balance.
