Darker ruby, rather youthful; roses almost wilted, touch of mushroom, showing some age but gives way to very clean fruit profile, deep cherry; fruit continues on the palate, a touch of liqueur but all cherry, missing some earth but we both thought this was Burgundy; really well done Zin, need to stash some nice ones away.

In stark contrast to the Schweiger Cabernet opened alongside this, this wine was classic Zin: overtly fruity (boysenberry) with moderate acidity and no tannins to speak of. Open, aromatic and expressively fruity. Very nice wine for its type.

Opened at Zintoberfest. 14.5% alcohol. This was a very fruity Zin. It had supple tannins and was not over the top but did show a little bit of heat on the finish. It didn't really detract from the wine for me though. 89 points.

That Viognier really adds to the nose. Strong red fruit, but with a myriad of floral and spice aromas also. I am not sure if I have had a better zin nose. Very smooth, dark purple/red at the rim. 30 second finish. Pomegranate, cherry, some plum, some spice that I cannot come up with.

RICH ZINFANDEL WITH RASPBERRIES, BLACK CHERRIES, AND SPICE IN THE NOSE AND FLAVOR. MEDIUM TO LONG FINISH.

First bottle was corked. This wine started off tight but opened up nicely. Good red fruits with spice and nice integrated tannins.
