Retail $20. Big Ass Bottle. 100% Zinfandel (17 months in 82% American, 18% French). Quite dark in the glass with cassis a-go-go, black cherry and raspberry, vanilla, clove, and sage. Really, really fruity on the palate as well, this might classify as a "quintessential Zin" with all that fruit at the fore, mid, and finish. But there is enough acidity melded in to balance out the wine--make no mistake, however, this is a fruit-driven wine, and it is quite tasty. Very Good.

1 hour decant with beef stew. Nice but wouldn't go out of my way to get more. Similar the following day.

Chateaushiny’s tasting notes are exactly right in the flavors, but we enjoyed it. Raspberry/plum/plastic
