This ten year old Zinfandel shows dark garnet color showing its age with a slight brownish rust color. Medium bodied, its moments of polish and balance turn to a slightly awkward tart cherry taste at times. Flavors of black berry, black cherry, spice and tobacco predominate with hints of oak, floral, and touch of vanilla with moderate tannins on the finish.

One of my favorite Zins. Last bottle on hand. We drank 2 last night for a birthday party.. Balanced. 15% alcohol but does not taste like it. Peppery with berry and smooth finish. We decanted both bottles and they delivered that big zin experience perfectly.
