February 29, 2020 - PnP, but definitely benefits from about 20 minutes of air to allow it to open. The nose yields up some cherry and some earth. The medium bodied palate has a core of red and dark red fruit, a good amount of spice, resolved tannins, and juicy acidity. A very satisfying bottle of the lighter of Fred's zinfandels. Should hold for another year or so.
