Incredible aromas - blackberry, black raspberry, spice, sage -- absolutely intoxicating. The palate is so complex, refreshing, nuanced yet powerful, with lots of fruit (black raspberry, currants), tobacco, but not at all jammy or clumsy. Bone dry, with gripping tannins, this is an absolutely incredible velvety Zinfandel, maybe the best Zinfandel I have ever tasted. Bravo Sausal!

First time trying....WOW. Beautiful nose, hints of spice, very fruity. Very very smooth, but with big bold flavors you would expect from a Zin, with a drop of tartness. Hints of berries, from rasberry to strawberries. Nice spice, with a very long finish....smokey, chocolate and some coffee. Very very nice bottle.
