At opening, very tight and bland. But within 30 minutes, wow, total red and bramblefruit. After the first 30-60 min., the depth of flavor was quite evident. Really enjoyed this wine for the next hour.

A bit lighter than most zinfandels which is a welcome change. It has bright cherry notes throughout, but the finish is sharper than I prefer. A pleasant wine all in all.

This was deliciously balanced. Aroma of red fruits, but layers of dark fruits on the palette. Very balanced with hints of vanilla/tobacco from the oak. Enjoyed with some grill lamb. Probably won't keep much longer.

Bottle was definitely off -- unlike others we have drank in the past
