Very approachable and pleasant. Subtle aromas of cherry, strawberry and soft flowery notes of violets. Strawberry and cherry flavors with a little honey and floral flavors towards the finish. Delicate take on Zinfandel - not complex but wonderful drinking at the price point. — 11 years ago

9.2

A gentle ruby color more like a Pinot. Nose of dark cherry, black pepper with hints of cherry liqueur and very slight hint of forest floor or cedar. Palate is dominated by dark cherry, black pepper, spice and substantial tannin and a still present cedar note. A dynamite BBQ wine. — 11 years ago
