Year: 2010

Winemaker's Notes (from website): Deep ruby in color, this classic Zinfadel begins with aromas of black mission figs, black cherries, and vanilla. the palate is filled with intense characters of brown, baking spice, vanilla, cherries, pomegranate, and fig. These flavors repeat themselves on a long, elegant finish.
My tasting notes: Overall, a nice zin. Aromas of black cherries presdominate. A little hot immediately after opening at 14.5% ABV, this was better after a couple of days. Cherries and blackberries on the palate, with a very smooth finish a couple of days after opening. Good alone or with cheese.
