Cherries and dark fruit on the nose. In the mouth, it's rich with notes of fig; lingering; fully mature but will hold a few more years. 14.7 abv which is a little higher than I like.

We had this Zinfandel with steak and foie gras. Excellent. It still has plenty of fruit and drinks beautifully. I don't think it will get better, so I will be drinking my remaining bottles. Paul Draper is the man!

Soft but slight tannins noticeable. It’s a nice wine, not crazy about it having just previously finished an amazing 2005 Ledsen Petite Syrah

Just terrific. In a great, great spot right now, open and giving, but it’s still vigorous and only just showing a secondary profile. Sweet without any sweetness, built now more around its minty freshness than its brambly fruit. Delicious scents of blackberries, lavender, and menthol. Last bottle, so wish I had more.
