Fruity (blueberry and pomegranate) and oaky. Best once it has aerated a bit.

Makes for light drinking, but has a bitter aftertaste

This is surprisingly very good for a Zinfandel. It's smooth with just the right amount of acidity.

Very light for a zinfindel, almost closer to a Pinot noir. Easy to drink with a very slight oaky ending.

A light fruity wine.
Not bold at all.
More like a red summer wine.
But still enjoyable.

This wine seemed very acidic at first. Better to let the bottle breath for 5 minutes. Very sweet.
