Deep purple, slow legs, moderate sediment. Aromas of raisin, strawberry jam, blackberry, oak, vanilla and cinnamon. Tastes of blackberry, strawberry jam and raisin. Body is medium/full, juicy, fleshy and bright. Long finish, low acid. Nice with Thanksgiving foods. At $33, a splurge but very good. Drink now or by 2017.

Not what I expected. Muted cherry fruit, and then a lot of earthiness. I kind of liked it, but wasn't really a Zinfandel. Had it with pasta, but would have been better with mushrooms and beef.

Lovely, even still. (Had been stored in climate control.) Best with food.

not a typical Zin. Lots of subtle fruit & good earth and tannin. Rather old world like. good w/the grilled chicken and veggies.

Not bad, but not great. A little black pepper and a little red fruit, but not a powerhouse by any stretch. A nice pizza wine.
