  EYES: Very dark garnet with orange rim, with thick slow legs
  NOSE: Quite strong aromas of blackberry, hickory, tobacco, and maybe a little butter essence
  MOUTH: Heavy dark fruits hit you up front, paired with a feeling of high tannins; Acidity softens as an aftertaste of cherry cola comes on; pretty mild heat for its ABV
  OVERALL: Good wine overall; very serviceable Zinfandel, maybe not as complex as some, but enjoyable through and through!

  Typical jammy, slightly sweet Zin, but of higher quality than others in this style. I am not personally a fan of this style Zin, but if you are a decent example.

  Let it breath for 2 hours. As other notes mention primarily vanilla and oak. Nice fruit with firm tannins. Good value at $20.
