Lovely purple/blood red color, nice legs, strong oak nose, chewey, spicey bouquet, melllows to a slightly herbal aftertast. Had this with a very well spiced petit feilet on the bar-b-que that hat been wrapped in bacon,fresh basil and rosemary. Very good but not extraordinary. A very good value and clearly ready to drink now. Great with bar-b0qued strong flavor meats!

AVERAGE The Cocoa is there again but this bottle tastes the same as before. At least it's consistent!
(14.3% Alchohol, so not overly hot. Nose permiates candied Cherries. The palate is extremely light with flavors dissapearing too fast to grab ahold of. A little bit of Cocoa and Coffee are there but this is light.
Finish is short. A little on the weak side.....two bottles, both the same!)

AVERAGE Color is a little light for a Zinfandel, not as deep ruby as expected.
