This wine is drinking really well at present. Big jammy wine with plums, raisins, concentrated fruit, smoke, chocolate. Rich nose that wants you to linger. Medium finish. This vintage from Sonoma County is revealing some great Zins. Tannins have softened leaving a well balanced big Zinfandel.

Very hot, but once the alcohol burns off strong ripe red berries on the nose. Burst of fruit on attack, stewed raspberry and black cherry on the mid-palate, barely reigned in by some acidity. Tart cranberry on the lengthy finish. Drinking in 2012, this 2007 vintage may yet need a little more time to be less fruit bomby and to let some subtlety show through. But there's definitely something interesting there.

Hasn't changed much. A little more age is obvious. But still fruity as heck. Interesting style.

Big fruit, blueberry, brambleberry, vanilla, some pepper. Long fruit-filled finsh. This is just yum.

Fun wine that is a total fruit bomb. Nice change of pace. Trying to drink my zin collection to get ahead of the curve.
