held this for a while, but worth the wait. very jammy was one view while i thought it was a drier Zinfandel taste. overall it was a very nice bottle of wine.

Dark garnet color. Dark berries, plum, violet and cedar on the nose. Silky mouthfeel with integrated acid and tannin. Good finish of dark fruit jam and sweet tobacco. A slight bitter note on the finish, but good juice overall.

Amazing wine. Plum and dark berry, great oak. Tasting partner would like to bath on it.

Dusty nose of damp earth, rock and olive. Syrupy, jammy fruit on nose and palate. Tannic. Otherwise, smooth but overcooked for me.
