  Earthy, spicy, just a little bit of fruit of some sort. My roommate says it has a "different" taste, but I'm not seeing it.

  Really good. Light bodied, powerful fruit, and a hint of something more complex.

  A very nice drinking wine, nose of red berries and cocoa, with a zesty Zinfandel taste and mild dry tannin finish.

  Appearance: Bright and clear, deep intensity purple with legs.
  Nose: Clean, with pronounced intensity of ripe red fruit such as raspberry, plum and cherry gum, ripe black fruit of bilberry and blackberry, with some oaky notes of cedar. The wine is youthful.
  Palate: Dry, with medium (+) acidity and medium tannin of grippy texture, this wine is of high alcohol and full body. Medium (+) intensity of red fruit such as plum and raspberry, black fruit such as bilberry and blackberry, hints of spice of white pepper, it has a medium finish.
  Conclusion: Good quality level with strong, intense nose and palate, though lacking in complexity, the wine has a good structure with reasonable finish but the alcohol level is a bit too overpowering. Ready to drink now and can benefit from further ageing of another 1-2 years.
