Typically not a Zin fan - but hot damn - this is pretty tasty. Lighter color / body. Dried cherries and prunes.

I moved past Zinfandel years ago. I am know giving it another look. This is a marvelous lush fruit forward wine. Hints of cherry with great tannins. Really like this 1.5L. My mind is opening to something besides Cab.

Wonderful vintage, bright fruit, but far from sugary sweet.
