Beautiful sparkling cherry red color. White pepper on the nose. Cherry flavors in the background, but it is spice that dominates the palate. Although it is 15% ABV, it does not come across as heavy or rich, but more like elegant.

A very nicely balanced zin - plenty of varietal character without being 'over the top'. Very drinkable now - I do not see the need for further celaring

This Zin will surprise you. I'm not really a Zinfandel drinker but would drink this again.

Nice balance. Slightly fruity. Cherry on the tongue. Nose has a hint of blackberry
