  • Fabulous dark cherry notes. Loved this one!

  • Mycket mörka bär, fatkrydda, vanilj. En hel del alkoholtyngd, utan att hettan slår igenom förvisso.

    Visst är det välgjort och så ...men föga spännande och tyvärr inget jag kan bli uppspelt över. Frukttungt med en medelmängd ek. Inte så syltigt och spritigt som zin kan bli. Men för de här pengarna förväntar jag mig ändå mer ...var är komplexiteten och nyanserna? Zinfandel är väl inte den mest eleganta druvan men det går att göra mer spännande saker med den.

  • The wine is a violet color, with slow-forming legs. Wonderful nose of raspberry and peppery spice with a little vanilla and nutmeg.
    On the palate, a little heat with loads of raspberry, some cherry pit, blackberry, creme de cassis and brambly pepper. Mild oak with medium, almost-but-not-quite chewy tannins with powdered mocha notes on the medium finish.
    There is a lot to like about this wine but there is also a little bit of an "off" note. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's slightly bitter and metallic in nature, yet also seems almost vegetative - like asparagus (queue the "Sideways" jokes).
    After some time in the glass, the bitter note does not blow off but it does fade into the background as the fruit and spice become more dominant. However it comes back into focus, lingering as an aftertaste long after the finish.
    It might become better integrated with additional bottle time. This wine seems like it is just now entering its optimal drinking window and should peak over the next 12-24 months.
