Big, hearty, ripe, full Zin. Strong vanilla, cocoa, and plum, followed by long lingering ripe muddled berry flavors. Stays long on the palate. For a huge Zin, this is a great choice. If you prefer more subtle, steer clear.

35th Annual Zinfandel Retrospective - the 2008s (Rich & Dana's): Crimson color with aromas of beef bouillon cubes, meat, black fruit and white pepper, turning dark and pruny. Medium-bodied with dark fruit, buillon and raisin flavors. If you like 'em big and ripe, this is your kind of wine.

So the nose was not very impressive but we had just had a Pinot before which had amazing aromas. For me this was a bit jammy. I could gets hints of oak along with dark fruit possibly boysenberry in there too. The fruit was forward and the finish did not linger. The acidity & tannins were rather mild & what I remember the most is all the fruit. This is a big zin just not my style.
