This is a powerhouse of a Zinfandel that emphasizes the muscular nature of the grape. Heady aromas of dark berries, anise, and black pepper. There is great depth on the palate that showcases tangy black fruit, wild strawberry, spice box, and forest floor. This is an intense wine best suited for early enjoyment. Drink over the next 3-4 years.
