  This will be a go-to sub $20 bottle. Not sure I’ve had a better one. Dark plumb, berry, spice, doesn’t taste manipulated. Had a very short decant period. Would like to try after a longer decant. Everyone enjoyed it.

  Zin isn't my favorite grape ("jammy" wines are rarely what I look for), but this was very solid. Reminded me a bit of my favorite inexpensive Zins, Ridge Three Valleys and Bedrock Old Vine.
  
  This really keeps the jammy quality in check, to the extent that my first blind guess was a $30-ish Cab Sauv from Washington (!)- really pretty dark blueberry, maybe often closer to blackcurrant, with a gentle dose of baking spice oak and little floral shades. Not ultra-expressive, but very pretty. Same on the palate, with really nice balance, not too hot or jammy at all. Pretty straightforward, but this is added to my list of better-quality Zin.

  Clear medium ruby; clean medium plus nose of raspberry, blueberry, vanilla and musty wood; dry; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; medium plus alcohol; medium plus body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of cocoa; medium plus finish; drink now: fruit forward with well balanced alcohol; this wine continues to pleasantly surprise us in blind tastings - excellent QPR!

  Medium purple colour. Medium and developing nose with dark plum, vanilla, blackberry, strawberry, black pepper, licorice, charred wood and violet. Medium taste of dark plum, red plum, earth, blackberry, black pepper, leather, strawberries, vanilla and charred wood. Medium long and dry finish. High acidity. High tannins. Full body. A good Sonoma Zinfandel. Drink now. Goes well with beef.
