Wimpy, bland, insipid, very dull, and utterly flavorless. And that is just scratching the surface of this dreadful wine, which is an appalling excuse for a Napa Zinfandel. Filtered to death and stripped of all its potential; this is the bare bones, dying in a wasteland of poorly made wine - it offers absolutely no pleasure or satisfaction whatsoever. The Biale family should have their alcohol licenses revoked due to gross incompetence. This is a huge disappointment, a complete waste of money, and it deserves the lowest score I’ve ever given to any wine.

Medium ruby Bright raspberry/blackberry aromas Juicy mouthwatering raspberry fruit, low tannins Seems almost restrained at 14.5%, especially if served at cellar temp. Served blind, I thought it was a 2014 Ridge, very nice

Nice nose of cherry and raspberry, needs to lay down for a couple of years to refine itself some.
