Now I am not sure how many people age Zinfandel but let me tell you, it can be a very rewarding grape with or without age, but with age the right bottle can be fascinating (and sometimes sublime); this one fell into the fascinating camp: the aromas were full of alcohol soaked dried cherry notes; but it was not a turn off, just an interesting footnote to the wine. Palate showed nice fruit, both red and black, with nice tannins and hints of sweet oak - but the real surprise was just how much better this wine got the longer it was allowed to sit in glass. By the time the last sip had been consumed everyone was wishing there was more.

Decanted, set for 45-60min, ripe fruit attack, full body blackberry, spicy, chocolate, warm but not too acidic, fruit and spice lingers with finish. I would love to pair with carbon, meat, maybe a BBQ steak or better yet chocolate mole grilled chicken.

A decent Zin for the price. Fairly well balanced, good fruit, nice finish.
