13.9ABV- light for a Zinfandel. Earthy mauve color. Light body. Smells of dark fruits - plums, black cherries. Medium acidity and alcohol. Medium tannins. Tastes of figs, raisins, leather and spice. Tannic finish. Too light for me - needs more spice dimensions.

Sometimes you do get what you pay for. There are better wines for the price.
