This offers notes of black cherry cordial, dark chocolate, lavender oils, wet stones, and dark sappy earth. The palate is full-bodied, with a broad-shouldered tannic structure that has an even feel, while refreshing acidity holds this wine together. Drink 2025-2035. —A.F.
What We Thought: Black fruit and baking spice frame the nose of this elegant Zinfandel and lead to an exceptionally smooth, full-bodied palate filled with ripe blackberry fruit with notes of black pepper, dark chocolate and a little vanilla that lead to a soft, lingering finish.
