  Just coming into its own now...
  I find that the aging potential of many Zinfandel wines is greatly underrated.
  Beautiful hue with no signs of browning.
  Bright, red berry fruit along with spices and a mineral quality.
  Yes. The alcohol is there, but I don't find it out of balance with the other components in this full-bodied wine.
  Will still age and could still improve.

  I liked the wine although not as good as some other zinfandels I have tried. Nose of blackberry, relatively high acidity and tanin. High alcohol level. Would have prefered a little more oak. Still enjoyed it and found it hard to put down.

  Lacks the concentration or complexity that I would expect at this price (£20UK) though well made.

  Hot and spicy (high alcohol), not well blended or balanced. Not a bad wine, but not particularly good either.

  Great, balanced wine; pleasant relief from the overripe tendency of many zin producers
