PnP-nose of cherry, raspberry and mulberry. Sweet spices of cinnamon, clove and faint sweet tobacco. On the palate the juicy bright red fruit and spice continues with an unmistakeable zinfandel character. With time in the glass some eucalyptus and subtle dill notes emerge. This is not an overripe prune/raisin zin. Well made and balanced. Enjoyable both with or without food.
Day 2: Flavors integrated a bit, fruit still front and center on both the nose and palate. Herbal notes from day one faded. Primarily fruit and spices with the 16.3% alcohol more noticeable on finish the second day.

Black dark cherry and raspberry nose, taste comes through a little lighter with some spicy notes light tannins but acidity leads to a nice finish.

Absolutely fantastic, bursting with flavors of rope red fruit with just a hint of acidity. Very smooth and lingers well.
