Wow!...what a couple of years does.
Wine is super soft and silky. Fruit still evident but a totally different experience. This is singing now and won't get any better. Drink now or hold up to two years.
Case worthy!!!!! -

November 27, 2023 - First bottle was very decent, with spice and light fruit at the front of the mouth. Second bottle was a fruit bomb that even after decanting for hours and tasting over a period of several days, is still barely consumable

October 18, 2023 - Primarily Zinfandel with some Petite Sirah (10%) blended in. Intense dark ruby/purple color. The aromas and flavors of black cherry/raspberry, blueberry, rose petals, black licorice, fresh herbs and pepper spice are equally as intense. Noticeable vanilla and pleasant earthiness on the long and lingering finish. Rich, complex, juicy and powerful (16% Alcohol) but nicely balanced. Quite memorable.

April 22, 2023 - Sorry this is my last bottle! One of the best Zinfandels I have had in a long time, and that includes Turley and Victor Hugo. If I ever find it on sale again, I will definitely reload.
