Nicely balanced fruit and spice with minimal tannins. Smooth with hints of vanilla and oak.

A wonderful Zinfandel. Goes great with grilling....had it with Turkey burgers with Mayo, Provolone, and Microgreens (wasabi mustard and beetroot). Very smooths with a dark ruby color and medium body. Slight spice and earthy to the nose. Cherry and earthy to the taste.

Could use more time to age but this was great with pizza and Mac & cheese. Fruity but on the dry side. Medium acidity and medium bodied.
