Clear light red in colour. Clean nose of cherry and vanilla. Dry, med acidity, med body, very subtle tannins. Cherry and vanilla on plate. med finish. I enjoyed this wine, but not very zinfandel like. I agree with an earlier note that said it was very california pinot like. None of the expected spicyness. I think the wine is just at the end of its drinking window. If you have any drink it up, but pair with your typical Zin pairings.

Disappointed in this Storybook Zinfandel. Probably more pinot-like. If you have it, drink it now; the wine was very closed, berry tones indistinguishable. No spice.

A very subtle and complex Zin. Red/black fruits with pepper and spice. Baked with a solid acid and tannin structure. Overall, very tasty and drinkable, not at all showing its alcohol.

I really love this label but this wine drank hot, mouth full of fiery alcohol on the finish. Too bad!

Aged Zin fruit, good fresh hint of raisin, lots of acidity, balanced funky
Conc: Enjoyed this quiet a lot
