Pinot like in color and depth, aromas of moderate cherry and blackberry with a hint of rasberry. Medium-sweet but very short finish, light and smooth bodied wine. Powerful fruit in the nose, but missing the big fruit in the mouth, thin cherry on the front and hint of vanilla on the back with a quick flash of juniper. Very much unlike the traditional "Z" I am accustom to, so I believe I waited too long to drink, certainly an anomoloy of his great vintages.

Love the colour - attractive and calls out to you to try it. Pepper and spice nose. Cherries on the tongue, nice balance and some butter on the finish. Paired with ribs off the grill and complemented very well.

Well balanced dark berry fruit. Typical wonderful jammy Amador Zinfandel. Prefer the R varietal although the Z is a great complimentary change. Consistently a good wine each vintage and worthy of many more purchases.

Very well balanced. Decanted for about 2 hours and it became very smooth. Some oak and Berry. Not as big as some of the other runquists. This would bode well for white drinkers looking to venture out.

Great zin as usual from Runquist. Stored very well and retained all the intense fruit well balanced flavors.
