He said: Opened one hour before drinking. Cherry and blackberry aromas. WOW, full body, concentrated taste of dark fruit, tobacco, licorice and spice. A long intense finish with supple tannins, that ends with a slight bitterness. This a triple WOW wine…if you like POWERFUL, FLAVORFUL AND OPULENT Zinfandel this is a GREAT candidate. For me it’s jumping up and down good and an all-time great Zinfandel. Simply MEMORABLE Zinfandel and a wine everyone should put on their bucket list!!! It’s hard to describe how far above the similar priced Zinfandel this wine is…it’s just in a class by itself.
She said: We had this with my birthday diner and I didn’t review it…but, Ray got it right…it was OUTSTANDING Zinfandel and a very special birthday treat!
