Excellent Zinfandel in a very good place right now. Balanced and medium weight (for Zinfandel), nicely detailed and focused on the mid-palate. Purity of fruit is on display here, with no traces of clumsy wine making or overt oak. Great now but no reason to think this won't hold or even improve with more time in the cellar.

Blue fruits. Maybe cherry stone for the first hour or so. Strong seam of acidity that finishes fresh. Medium length. Very easy to drink, tastes of California. For me, doesn't quite hit the magic spot, but lovely nonetheless. There's something on the nose that says this is still developing and has time yet to give more.

Again, a pure and uncomplicated Zinfandel that is easy to drink but is also contemplative.

Nice blackberry fruit, full body, but smooth. Dry leather finish that goes on forever. Just wonderful!
