TASTING NOTE: Dark dusty garnet color. Fruity, toasty aromas and flavors of dried berries, spiced cherries, s'mores, and hint of incense with a silky, vibrant, fruity medium body and a silky, engaging, medium-long vanilla cream, spiced oranges and apples, praline, and pepper finish with soft, chewy tannins and light oak. A nicely balanced and flavorful zinfandel with great versatility. Gold Medal. Exceptional. Score - 93 (tastings.com, April 11, 2016) Price $ 27.95
