    Tasting Notes:

    Beautiful deep ruby color; on the nose you find smoked and mineral aromas. With aeration, flavors of ripe fruit and spicy notes become more evident. This Zinfandel has good acidity with powerful tannins and great texture. All in all, this is a rich and elegant wine that should age very well.
