Voluptuous and intense flavor profile with a deep, dry trail that resonates on the palate, leaving a contenting tannic sensation on the tongue and roof of the mouth. The plum flavor is pronounced and fruity, with a gentle sweetness that balances the boldness of the wine. Overall, a evolved and engaging wine that is sure to please even the most discerning palates.

Light-bodied wine with a Pinot Noir-like appearance, but with a dominant Zinfandel flavor profile. The Wine & Spirits rating of #90 is a fair assessment, but I find it too strong for my taste, rating it 82. The W&S comment that it will pair well with Salisbury Steak is a good one, but I prefer a bolder, more concentrated Zinfandel. I won't be purchasing this again.

The wine is a opulent and rewarding experience, with a detailed character that combines the sweetness of plum, prune, and dried fruit with the warmth of vanilla, fig, and baking spice. The tasting is equally impressive, with a silky and flowing structure that is punctuated by the weight of cedar, chocolate, and a whisper of violets. The linger is long and satisfying, with a light note of chocolate and a lingering echo of fig and spice. Overall, the wine is a sumptuous and opulent delight.
