Some brighter fruit than I would expect from a zinfandel. Some nicely rounded vanilla and cocoa in the finish. Opens nicely with a little air.

I admire Amador Zins, but never had Shenandoah's before. Velvety like a big-eyed Elvis painting and twice as nice for porch sipping & late night conversations.
