($34) Bright ruby. Spicy red and dark berries on the nose, with zesty mineral and floral notes adding complexity. Very fresh and focused zinfandel, offering sweet black raspberry and smoky herbal flavors that gain ripeness and depth with air. A refreshing kick of white pepper adds vivacity and carries through a long, sappy, gently sweet finish. Plenty rich but this spicy wine also shows the now rarely seen energetic side of zin. (JR)

All of the typical components of Zinfandel are present, and the young, fresh wine may appeal to those who prefer the fruit forward exuberance of this wine at present. I'm guessing that a year's proper storage may allow for some complexity and balance to occur.

Surprisingly disappointed! Just seemed a bit plain when compared to other zins. I was definitely taken back by the blind tasting reviews compared to much lower priced zins.
