this is a fruity wine but it has some depth and pepper/clove body. The sweet dark fruit is plump so it is a good summer wine to match fresh blackberries.

this is a dark wine with rich floral blended aroma. It enters smooth and has tones of vanilla and cream. The ending is slightly weak and mainly is fruit forward in style.

Cherry twizzlers, some raspberry, a touch sour, and something herbal. Full bodied, not thin but not viscous. Very easy drinking. Really like it. 88-89 pts.

This was really weird. I did not like this the first night. Thin and "cheap" tasting. I recorked and put in fridge for 2 days, warmed, and tried again. It was considerably better, and I was really enjoying the wine by the 2nd glass on the 2nd night. I'd give these some cellar time before I open the next one.

Massive blueberry with significant rosemary note at PnP, continues as a strong thread during attack with nice decrescendo by finish. Brambly fruit on palate, a bit on the sweeter side, some anise. Faint black spice at conclusion with raspberry and hints of oak. If this is the same oak Mike Richmond at Bouchaine works with, his barrel source is definitely the culprit in the seductive rosemary notes I find in Gauthier's Zin and Bouchaine PNs- truly different spiced red experiences! 90/B = 50/5/12/8/8/7

Still very decent since the wine has been properly cellared. Smooth and medium weight with a typical Zinfandel peppery finish.

Slightly chilled this wine matched up well for Thanksgiving with a lively tightness and enhanced body structure.

This may need more time in the bottle. Not a lot of character at this point. More like a dry merlot.

This wine has an oqaque garnet color with pleasing aromas of musk and mud. It features a distant delicate fruit with slight off build.
