Keeps its balance despite 15.5% alcohol. Blackberry, leather, dill, and a bit of black pepper. If you have it drink it because it is showing a touch of oxidation.

Rich and decadent wine. Expansive, chewy, mouthfeel, refined tannins. Flavors of dark cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, and blackberry. Notes of roast meat that remind me of syrah (despite having none). Really nice zinfandel, although I'd not raise it up go the level of some reviews ("best zin ever").....although I wish I'd have tried it 2 years ago. Its a bit more stewed fruit at this point, so perhaps was more focused then. In any event, id give that honor to the 2010 Hayne from jeff cohn, so id not be aurpIt is excellent though.
