A bit underwhelming on the nose and up front, does open up with raspberries and cherries that give a nice brightness, though finish was a bit flat. Bit of a disappointment - expected more.

A little sharp and almost sour (red fruit), especially for a Zinfandel. More exposure to air might round it some, but at this point I plan to let this cellar longer before I open another bottle.
Update: Tasted again 10/2021. Time definitely has softened some of the tartness. Slightly musty flavor, though the wine is still enjoyable. I'd bump the score to 89-90. Not sure I'd let this cellar much longer.

Fairly disappointing for a GF PN. Already flat, not much fruit, doubt that more time in the bottle will help.

Relatively light. A bit tart and flat. A bit acid. Quite disappointed by this wine. Really enjoy Farrels wines, especially their PN. This one not
