Last bottle of a case, not much fruit left compared to five years ago but still a decent drink. If you blind tasted this now you would would be hard pressed to figure out the varietal. Sweet oaky briar/pruny nose, sweet entry with strawberry overtones, the finish is still quite nice with juicy acidity making you want more.

Very dark ruby color. Too much oak..Opened up after an hour of being decanted.

Losing some fruit so you are left with more oak. Drink up if you got some.

smooth and easy drinking but losing a bit of its zinfandel spicy character.

A bit hot at first then it mellowed and drank well. Blacberry, plum and other brambly notes.
