Rich full throttle zin
Nina rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Great fully flavored Zinfandel.

In the glass dark purple color, bright, opaque.
On the nose rich aromas of cooked fruits, menthol, spices, mocha.
On the palate dry, medium to full body, with high alcohol. Fruity with touch of vanilla, floral notes with soft tannins.
Good balanced wine with very smooth and peppery finish.
Rich aromas of huckleberry compote, menthol, honey roasted carrot, and Indian spice with a supple fruity medium-full body and a creamy vanilla, peppercorn, dried flower and sandalwood accented finish with powdery tannins. A full-throttled, flavorful zin. Best Buy. Score: 91 Source: Tastings.com
