Description

Clear ruby color. Zin nose of red fruit, licorice root, leaf, straw. Glass costing glycerin as would be expected. Med plus weight in mouth, acid lift right off the bat followed by juicy bramble berry, spice cake, root beer, finishes dry, 20 sec. Have definitely had more interesting and structured Zins but this is quite fine. Recommend 1 hr decant, definitely opens up with air. Brambly fruit and raspberry liquor with a touch of citrus on the nose is followed by spectacular blackberry dark fruit, prunes, and cloves that fill the palate. This medium-bodied Zinfandel is well balanced with perfect acidity and lots of verve.
