Nose of kalamata olive, raspberry and bruised apple. Actually smells pretty attractive, despite the odd sounding mix of descriptors.
Palate is full of velvety raspberry and bruised apple, with some flavor of cinnamon and clove at close. Medium body with a bit of grainy tannin left. Drink up!

Ruby red in color. 14.9% ABV. Red and blue fruits, kirsch and pepper on the nose. Medium body with adequate acidity. Rich, fresh and elegant. Raspberry, blueberry, white pepper and cocoa on the palate. Delicious Zinfandel that is ready to drink. Less jammy and port like than many of the highly rated Zins from this era.

Still a wonderful bottle of wine, but it clearly is time to drink up.
