With a little Petite Sirah and Carignane added for complexity, this is a beautiful Zinfandel meant for drinking now. It has fresh, zesty flavors of wild raspberries, cherries, blueberries and red currants, with notes of licorice, cocoa and pepper. Notable new oak adds even richer elements of vanilla and smoke.——S.H.(8/1/2009)—— 90
