Very light with still some fruit coming through. Traditional style zin as it is not harsh (overly alcoholic) nor jammy or prune like. The color was light and cloudy but still a very nice wine.

The wine is a light ruby red, almost rust in color. 15.2% ABV. Jammy aromatics of blueberries and strawberries. Licorice, pepper, briar and plums on the palate. Elegant and balanced with soft tannins. Textbook "claret style" Zinfandel. Beautiful wine. Note to self...buy more Zinfandel from Williams Selyem.

drinkable but past its peak -- fruit is tasting more stewed or overripe now. Decanting helps.

Took awhile to open up then had muted fruits but a good balance and nice taste. Still probably past past its prime.

Lot's of fruit remain in this Zin after 9 years. While this wine is pretty one dimensional, it is still a very tasty wine.
