More showing now than what I've tasted in the past. Really ripe plums on the nose with some underlying white pepper. Taste really ripe red fruits. There is some heat here but the best part of the wine (IMHO) is the tannins. Really nice mouth feel.

I love Goosecross Zinfandel and this was a disappointment to me, especially given that the price has increased. Way too much almost non-descript fruit for my taste and none of the 'strawberries and white pepper spice' that were so characteristic of past vintages. This is a blend with barely enough Zinfandel to be labelled as such. I won't be buying any more of this.

Disappointed for a $30+ Napa zin. Big fruit, little to no spice or complexity on the taste. Hadrdly anything on the nose.
