this is a complex zinfandel but isn't too much of a winner. upsides, there is some good fruit and it is intense. downsides, it was a bit too hot, syrupy, and it lacked balance. i dont think time will solve this. if you had a spicy dish like a spicy nacho burger - it actually holds up but don't drink this on it's own. without food it will not be all that pleasing.

Really nice nose of sweet fresh brambly fruits vanilla and pepper. The fruit on the palate is fresh and sweet without being cloying a nice long spicy finish really well balanced

Deep, complex blend of plum and cherry fruit, with hints of licorice and tobacco on the finish.

Very ripe and a bit boozy for my liking. That being said, the bottle was easily finished over a sweet dessert course after dinner.
