2020 ZAP Trade Tasting, nose of dark fruit, same on the palate, medium/big body at peak-time to enjoy is now, lovely, rich fruit, mouth filling fruit, almost raisiny fruit, and a medium/long finish, nice to enjoy a mature Zinfandel today.

Delicious wine. Smooth, not too dry, not too sweet, full of fruit with mild oak and a great finish. Great for the price. Found as little as $14, but avg is $16.

I agree with Agorman's recent comment...this one is past its best. Am drinking the 11th bottle of a case purchased 16 months ago, and it is becoming more woody/oaky as time passes. I've scored this wine as I recall it drinking during the first several bottles (early 2012) when I enjoyed the full, forward dark fruit and zesty alcohol.

Corky and a little off, although not awful. This has been a very reliable vintage, but I think it might be past its best. We'll finish the bottle in a night or two. May also aerate and decant and consider the result.
