First bottle from this vineyard. Color was dark, clear. Nose was muted on opening but bloomed on decant...dried herbs, cedar, tobacco and strawberry. Nice Zinfandel character, a bit spicy, cigar box, more dried herbs, raspberry and ripe plum. Very nice.

Dark purple with a menthol alcohol spray nose. A lot of pepper, spice and black cherry to taste. Long finish in the lower palate / chin. It held up well and probably better than anything else I have against crushed hot red pepper flakes!

From a bottle signed by LT and poured to break H’s wine fast. Beautiful, pure bouquet. Plums, apricots and blackberries wrapped in Asian spices. The complete package. Lusty fruit-driven finish. Drinking beautifully right now. (= Worth Seeking Out)

Really good berry flavors. High alcohol, but not hot.

Zinberry nose and fruit with a very spicy, peppery finish that almost overpowers the wine. Demands attention.
