Clean, cherry red color. Liquorice, aged fruit, raspberry, strawberry, hints of pepper on a very interesting nose. Long persistence, not an average zinfandel, probably not ready since it is not rounded on mouth.

Another Scott McLeod masterpiece. Tasted blind, could have fooled me for a merlot. Jammy and plummy with pepper and spice and everything nice after some decanting. Smooth tannins and a hint of vanilla and cocoa. This has years to go.

Menthol, licorice, vanilla, cloves, hoisin sauce, herbs, spices, and packed with jammy cherries. A bit over oaked - I’m not normally a Zin fan, but this retains an Italian like freshness to it despite the aggressive oak. There’s a lot of complexity here as well.

Love this Zinfandel. Can't beat it. Opens, drinks, and finishes perfectly. Don't dare open anything after this wine. You're ruined.
