Opens a pink fading to orange and clear at the rim. Sweet high end notes of candy, marmalade, gum drop and muted zin underbrush. Thin and watery in the glass. Vanilla, raspberry ganache, candy sugar on the palate. Sweet fruit bomb remnants still attack on the finish, with some tannin and a long finish echoing around the uvula. This has mellowed, but still shows some zin characteristics, albeit muted compared to the ripe monster this probably was. Overall a good wine still, but lacking complexity. No evidence of wood, etc.

A solid red Zinfandel. Good full body, lots of grape. Served with steak and went very nicely. I thought it might have even more punch than it did, but it was still very good.

Oaky nose, with vegetal notes.
Quite a sweet wine, balanced, good length, a bit porty.
