Enjoyed this more than expected. Medium Garnet with Med meniscus. N of raspberry and dark fruits, along with cocoa and a bit of tar. Good mouthfeel with both raspberry, black currant and blackberry. Rose, mint and cocoa with a floral/veggie finish. Drinking well now.

14.75% abv. Recent auction purchase. Lighter, nuanced style. Really lovely and detailed for Zinfandel. A little vanilla and some slightly brambly, red-ish fruit Zin berry. Was actually hoping for a little more body on this, though this had picked up a little weight (and was best) by the last glass. There were three of us sharing, so that was only about an hour and a half opened. Medium acidity. Recommend an hour or two decant if drinking this right now. Additional age might help as well, but there's not very much structure to carry this for too long. Very enjoyable. If scoring, 89 - 90.

Earth, raspberry and cherry on the nose. A bit on the lighter side stylistically which I enjoyed. Nice lift on the palate. Delish!

A nicely made wine, just somewhat lacking in strength and conviction.

Rich red fruit with a hint of vanilla. Decent acidity and tannins. Fabulous zin made with a bit of restraint. No reason to hold any longer.
