PnP at a pot luck. No detailed notes. CT drinking window is 2013-15; no need to drink by next year. This wine still has several more years at it's prime.

Consistent with prior review - Deep violet color with dark fruit and pepper aromas. On the palate it's smooth, and balanced with wonderful black cherry, pepper, and a hint of chocolate flavors. Medium finish. 93% Zinfandel, 4% Petite Sirah, and 3% Carignane

In search of a fruit-forward wine to open with pizza, I opened this. Classic Dry Creek Zin nose: dark, berryish fruit surrounded by lots of tarry notes. On the palate, it was medium-bodied with plenty of acidity to make for a clean finish. Rich, but not at all heavy, it reminded me of how good how Zin can be in the hands of a talented winemaker like Mike Dashe.

Nicely restrained zin, with mellow tannins and no hint of too much heat or sweetness. A tangy, almost lingonberry profile with some racy acids and good earthy undertones. A nicely balanced wine for the under $20 crowd.
