  Opened 1 hour prior but not decanted. Dark cherry/blackberry in color, nice perfumed fruit on the nose. Blackberry/blueberry compote on the palate with only a touch of fine white pepper on the finish. Had while watching the Derby with grilled brisket burgers. As i said before, the WS Zins drink like a Bold Pinot. Cousin Pudge and myself really enjoyed this offering. Never sure about the WS Zin qpr, but this bottling really hit the spot. Really enjoyable.

  Winemaker's Notes:
  Deep and dark, the wine reveals only a little of what it has to offer at this young age. Boysenberry and fresh cracked Tellicherry peppercorn are immediately obvious on the nose. With air, notes of strawberry confiture and stone fruit emerge, while hints of tamari and hoisin offer a deeper, brooding character. Flavors of boysenberry and black cherry come through the dense palate. The precise and refreshing acidity adds freshness not often found in Zinfandel. Because of the firm tannins and refreshing acidity there is long ageing potential, but this wine can also be enjoyed today with a ribeye steak seared over charcoal with a shishito pepper salsa on the side.
