  Courtesy of T&L. Nice brambly red and black fruit with peppery spice overtones. Has a plush texture. Red fruit, pepper, raspberry and chocolate. A much better example than the one tasted a couple of weeks ago.

  41st Annual Zinfandel Retrospective - the 2014s (R&Ds): Double blind. Notes of brambly red and dark fruit, raspberry and pepper. Balanced. Red fruit and pepper with chocolate and clay tones as well. Perhaps a touch of VA here. Good.

  The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It tastes like blackberry. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

  4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Our house): Double blind. Dark color with notes of black fruit and a touch of banana. Firm tannins with flavors of black cherry, blackberry syrup and brown sugar. Blue fruit aromas with air. Credit to Mark for correctly identifying this as zinfandel- he was the only one IIRC.

  Powerful and really good right after opening. No reason to wait on this wine.
