notes of dark fruit, cassis. at first tastes like a cab or merlot. a nice initial bite of strong tannins and medium acid, cherry, raspberry but a very short finish of chocolate and vanilla oak. went well with french brie and tomato pizza. finish a bit short robbing it of complexity and the oak/cacao gets to be a bit much after a few glasses. overall a solid Zin and I usually don't like Zinfindel.

Gift from Susannah for Christmas, 2023, delivered and drunken meta-January, 2024.
Although I have an aversion to buying wines with cute vineyard names or animal references, this was a good, sturdy Zinfandel.
