Fruit forward, a little jammy, and a little spice. Really nice.

Dark crimson. Aromas of black raspberry, black cherry and vanilla. Full bodied, bold and juicy with flavors of blue raspberry, black cherry, black pepper and mocha. It finishes with blue raspberry, mocha, monster tannin and strong ethanol heat. Among the best Zins in its price range.

First Zinfandel I think I've liked. Crisp taste. Not too strong. Mildly dry.

Dense structured zin flavors. Bit of tannin comes through but does not detract. Pleasing aroma followed by long forward flavors.
