Nose is smokey with a touch of pepper. Flavor profile is tart cherry and blackberry. A nice tartness and a touch of tannins on the finish. I bit to jammy for me tonight - worked better with food than without.

Although light magenta in color, this is a thick, rich Zin. Reminds me a bit more of a Russian River or a Sonoma Valley Zin than one from from Dry Creek.
Bramble, blackberry, strawberry. Sticky. Quite good and delicious. Good for BBQ chicken or a pork roast.

Exactly what a $25 Zin should be. Not over the top fruity with a nice nose. An acidity & weight that work well with food, plus all elements are in balance. Will pair well with most tomato based sauces.

Nice nose & nice legs! Not great, but very drinkable.

Delicious. A nice, smoky zinfandel with warm, dark fruit flavors that pairs perfectly with bbq. You won't go wrong with this choice. Enjoy.
