Typically not a Zin fan - but hot damn - this is pretty tasty. Lighter color / body. Dried cherries and prunes.

I moved past Zinfandel years ago. I am know giving it another look. This is a marvelous lush fruit forward wine. Hints of cherry with great tannins. Really like this 1.5L. My mind is opening to something besides Cab.
