Another beautiful Napa Zinfanel from D-Cubed Cellars. Sourced from some of Napa's best Zin vineyards including Howell Mt. and the Chiles Valley vineyard where the owner also makes Brown Estate Zinfandel. 92 points Wine & Spirits "Best Buy": "Supple and elegant in its black and red cherry flavors, this wine's tannins layer herbal and chocolate scents into the fruit. Those tannins are round but potent, with a mouthwatering mineral character that gains dimension as the wine broadens with air. This will benefit from several years in the cellar, or from long decanting before dinner with roast lamb. " 91 points Wine Spectator: "Sleek and jammy, offering bright black raspberry and smoky pepper aromas, with layered flavors of briary cherry and toasty anise. Drink now through 2016. 936 cases made. "

Fruity and rich, medium tannin with a full body and medium plus heat. Blackberry and plum taste, great with duck and lamb

Not a typical Zinfandel. A little lighter, about 15% alcohol. Blackberries, black cherries, some good spice and black pepper.
