Big, brawny Howell Mountain Zin. Shows great depth despite its fruit forward focus. Nose is something special - highly perfumed with a hint of cotton candy. Great mix of power and finesse.

BBQ ribs, collard greens, coleslaw, and wasabi mashed potatoes. And Turley Rattlesnake Ridge Zin. A perfect Memorial Day dinner.

This is everything you would expect from a California Zinfandel. I am still honing my blind tasting skills but this one is such a classic I feel I could identify this quite readily in a blind tasting.

First night was kind of meh. High octane and kind of generic primary flavors but started to open up in glass after about 30 minutes. On day two, it was markedly improved with much more secondary character albeit more barrel flavors also. Smoke, spice, vanilla on top of briar and brambles. Overall it is very good after allowing to unwind a bit.

Very smooth. Not a ton of spice. Went excellent with ribs.

2014, but drinkable now. Wonderful fruit with slight earthy finish. Love it!
