2013. Extremely dark, smells of smoke, cassis and blueberry, but the blueberry really comes forward on the palate. Fruit is set off by a dramatic show of spices - nutmeg, sage and vanilla. Nice brambly component, backbone to spare. The tannins are firm and brawny enough for a big ol’ ribeye this thick. The '13 Soucie Vineyard Zinfandel is complex and almost brooding, with a rustic character juxtaposed against its elegance. It will go as well with a checkered tablecloth as it will with fine, white linen.
