No detailed notes. Very, very tasty blue fruits and chocolate. Solid structure, dusty tannins. Not the most complex by any means, but incredibly flavorful with enough acid to stop it from being too sweet or jammy. Nice aromas, nothing untoward at all.

Huge nose of red raspberry, blueberry, pepper, eucalyptus, jerky, and menthol. The taste is very rich and fruity with a viscous feel. The finish is pretty long with some odd Smoky violet at the end. This literally tastes like raw meaty cake batter. It's good but I wouldn't pay $30 for it again. There's better out there for less.

peppery but surprisingly clean and fresh...nothing overpowering but it still gives a slight zing on it's attack...sharp and appropriate after a long night of great wine.

Stil full bodied and delicious! We were afraid we kept it too long, but that was not the case. Rich, deep flavors, lingering finish.

Excellent with Pork Chop on the Big Green Egg. Spices, licorice, not too fruity sweet, just enough. Even better next day.

Drink it now! Very enjoyable, easy drinking zinfandel from a good winery. Nice and fruity!

I am not a zinfandel fan; but I did enjoy this wine. It was not overly ripe and sweet and there seemed to be a great smokiness to it.

dark red, purple hue. Dark red fruit on the nose and up front followed by some vanilla and a long peppery finish.

Balanced. Dark fruits, a little black pepper, barbqued meats. Good, but probably not worth the price.

suprisingly tame for a Zinfandel. Blackberries and good fruit at the beginning, some tanins at the back, mellows at the finsih with light smoke.
