Garnet/Purple, fading to pink with hints of orange toward the rim. Medium legs. Understated aromas: blackberry, black cherry, cedar, light toast and vanilla. On the palate, distinct dust and mushroom join in. Medium body, narrow texture, below-medium acidity, medium finish. Impression: Not your typical Zinfandel; no jam, not rich nor "plush". Subtle, understated, yet pleasant. At $16, QPR below average. A good example of wine not quite varietally correct, yet decent. Drink now.

Dust and earth with peppery finish. Not much fruit.

Not much evolution form the last time I tried it. Minimal complexity and fruit, but this bottle didn't seem in decline, just an average bottle. 85-87
