  I LOVE this! All that deep dark fruit that I would initially equate with a Shiraz - but it's more black fruit with a slight bitterness to the aftertaste that reminds of liquorice and leather (in a nice way) but with little dry tannins. Not for the fainthearted as it packs a real punch!

  Fun and easy zinfandel. Not too sweet, not too formal. Blackberry, licorice, faint vanilla. It should improve more with cellaring. Let it breathe a good half hour in order to get the funkiness and tartness out. Pairs excellent with pizza and light tomato based pasta.
