Beautiful wine Aromatically complex with raspberry, cherry, tons of spice, and whiffs of candied citrus rind, and dust. Raspberry, cherry, and intense baking spice flavors aromas explode on the palate are nicely balanced by very good acidity, and dusty soft tannins. Supple texture. Long finish. Last tasted 2 years ago. Just got better with time.

Ripe and round...nice inky dark color and chewy texture. No discernible tannin or alcohol (though listed at 16.3)... the wine is nicely resolved at 10 years. Black fruit, pencil lead, and spice notes. A well grown and produced example of California Zinfandel at ten years. Another example that Zinfandel can age gracefully.

Almost ten years old with plenty of room to go. Rich cherry with broad but balanced tannin. Fantastic zin.
