A beautiful Zinfandel that shows the variety’s spicy, briary personality in a balanced, elegant way. Dry and rich in brisk tannins, it has complex flavors of blackberries, cherries, sweet tobacco, anise, cola, cocoa, sandalwood and dusty spices. Drink now–2013 before it starts to lose its fruit.——S.H.(3/1/2010)—— 93
