This is lovely. Others taste cherry. I get crushed berries.... raspberries, black raspberries and even a little blueberry. Juicy, but with enough acid to keep it interesting. A lighter style than my favorite Zin (Outpost), but a very nice wine and an excellent value.

Zinfandels on a Saturday Afternoon (Loretta Paganini School of Cooking): My wife described this as a Pinot styled Zin and I think that works well. Light ruby in color. The nose has nice cherries. On the palate cherries with a nice streak of acidity. Certainly more body and stuffing than a Pinot but in that vein. I enjoyed it very much, however, this is probably not the best environment for showcasing its finesse.

Very young but quite quaffable. Light in style with cherries and spice, good acidity. Enjoyed with food and without.
