Not an extraordinary nose, just a hint of burnt berries. But the clean taste of ripe plums makes this quite delicious, especially for the price of 5 bucks. Spiciness without aeration is a delight with high end pizza, savory vegetable dishes like vegan casserole or Greek salad. Letting it breathe for an hour brings it to a super mellow stage with medium silky tannins. Dang!!!

All around, this is a perfectly acceptable wine that is even pretty tasty. Sweet and even red fruit with some vanilla. Didn't strike me as especially Zinfandel-y though. In fact it's one of those wines that isn't really that identifiable so is therefore arguably boring, but other than that it doesn't warrant any strong complaints either. The Coastal Syrah is much better though.

Like this a bit better this time. Some nice strawberry fruit on the finish.
