  Minimal cherry on smell, woodsy cherry on taste. Lots of acidity, without the fruit to balance it out. Thin, not much there.

  Last bottle, really hasn't changed. Blackberry, anise, plum and spice on the nose and palate. Great match with homemade pizza.

  Blackberry, black licorice, spice, plum. Medium body. smooth finish. Not a lot of complexity, but very enjoyable.

  Not sure if this was mildly corked or what the flaw was. A previous bottle was loaded with fruit and a treat to drink. This one the fruit was very muted and drank almost like a claret instead of a zinfandel. Not overtly bad, just not as expected.

  Expressive nose and loaded with flavor. Blackberry, black licorice, spice, plum. Medium body. smooth finish. Drinks well above its price.
