  From the winery notes:
  The 2018 Zinfandel is the perfect representation of our winemaking ethos here at Meeker: to make wines that embrace the advantages of the new world while honoring the traditions of the old world. And while we love making structured, big Zinfandel, this wine handed us a different set of cards, and we went with it.
  The wine opens with raspberry and blackberry fruit and dustings of star anise and clove. The palate shows depth to the fruit character with layers of juicy raspberry and hightoned streaks of orchids, eucalyptus, and a dusty cocoa . The structure is plush, and builds quietly to a juicy and racey finish.
  To be frank, this is the new-school-est Meeker Zin we've ever released, but it knows it's heritage. This wine's strength aligns it with earlier enjoyment; it's really primed for drinking now and for the next two years, but could sit for 10-12.
