The previous bottle of this I had was in 2008 and it was very rough. What a difference a year makes. Nice deep purple color, great fruity nose and taste, and an excellent smooth spice and pepper finish. If you haven't tried this yet, please treat yourself to a very good moderate priced Zinfandel.

Luscious purple in colour this wine shows jammy purple fruit and white pepper on the nose. The palate is medium bodied with more sweet purple fruit, spice and rounded tannins.

Nose of raspberry and orange peel. Palate of orange and berry, like sangria. Smooth mouthfeel, finishes stemmy and hot. $18 is quite wishful pricing. this wine was accompanied by press materials touting a more elegant approach to Zin making. At 15% alc, not elegant.

Excellent QPR. Simple but very well made Zinfandel, everything you expect. Nice berry forward fruit, well balanced and structured.
