This is a leaner sleek style of Zin with a nice balance of tension between warmer brambleberry fruit and cranberry acids. Add a hint of oak for spice and toast.
I don't see much room for additional ageing adding anything, so would drink up on the sooner side of "sooner or later"

Maroon in color. 15.2% ABV. Red fruits, pepper and baking spices on the nose. Rich yet elegant on the palate. Medium body with great acidity. Flavors of raspberry liqueur, boysenberry, cherry cordial and white pepper. The finish is seamless and long. Absolutely delicious Zinfandel that shows no sign of being almost 10 years old. Drink over the next 1-2 years.

Still very good. Good nose, color and, when aerated, very flavorful.

Nice, if a touch pruney. Probably should have consumed a few years ago for the full fruit experience but still very drinkable w a good finish.
