  Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
  
  Strong nose of blackberries, black currants, plums, bing cherries, red candy, mediterranean spices, wood, herbs, tobacco, licorice, vanilla, black tea, earth, leather, dark coffee, spices and black pepper. A very aromatic nose.
  
  Full bodied and bold with medium plus acidity and long legs.
  
  Dry on the palate with plums, black currants, coffee, oak, earth, vanilla, vinaigrette, tobacco leaf, peppercorn, spices, light bitter herbs, red chili powder and cloves.
  
  Medium finish with soft tannins and tart cherries.
  
  This is a nice a Zinfandel from California. A good quality wine and a good food wine.
  
  Drinking nicely already, but would probably be better in a year or two.
  
  Needs 2 hours to open up properly and remove some of the acidity.
  
  The nose here is much nicer than the 2015 and more complex, but right now, I like the 2015 better.
  
  I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.
  
  100% Zinfandel grapes were aged for 10 months in French and American oak barrels.
  
  13.9% alcohol by volume.
  
  88 points.
  
  $28.
