Delicious concentrated nose- jammy and dried fruits, skewing dark. On the palate all that power and guts (15.8% alc) is reined in by some brightness, veering on VA- how very Italian! Not much earth but plenty of warm sweet spices.

Drinking beautifully right now! At 15.8% the alcohol has mellowed a bit but the wine is still full bodied. Black cherry, hints of cola, raspberry. Spice on the finish that goes on for a bit. Worth the wait and a great example of what Biale does with Zinfandel!

This zin is in the groove. Delicious and hedonistic. Shared with friends. A real crowd pleaser.
