This wine is mostly Zinfandel with a small amount
of Petit Sirah, the wine lots were aged separately in a combination of French
barrels over 70% of then seasoned rather than new, and finally alcohol comes in
at 15.2%.
Wow what exquisite aromatics on this Zin with
aromas of wild berries, blackberry jam, white pepper, cedar, savoury and
vanilla notes. On the mouthfeel, full bodied, very rich and sensuous with good
acidity and fleshy tannins. This wine’s finish is very long, slightly warm with
a solid core of ripe fruit, spicy and sweet oak flavours. Lovers of Zinfandel
are unlikely to be disappointed with this one; it has everything that people
are looking for in a Zin. Lots of fruit and flavours? You bet. Low tannins? Yes.
Big alcohol? Yes With all that, it still manages to be well balanced. Love the
fruity and savoury personality of this Zinfandel, strongly recommended. Score
91 point.
