exciting wine. bursts with fruit after pop, but certainly not overly sweet initially. in fact, the first hour featured juicy fruit that beckoned no waiting between sips... in spite of a good finish. also, defintely some minerality here that rose as time passed. however, the zin sweet took over the fruit a bit following hour one. keep in mind, though, the 2012 sugar. the future, im sure, is filled with lots of fun and surprise with each subsequent bottle

Delightful zinfandel. Fruit forward - cherries, raspberry. Spicy middle. Then a very smooth vanilla finish. Not a very heavy zin by any means. Very affordable (thank you, Costco) and very yummy.

It was ok, not sure I'm a big zin fan, it opened up and came around, I drank it.

Same comment as before ... good, but not as good as the 2011
