Medium dark ruby with no amber at the edge, this wine exhibits wonderful freshness and vivid purity to its spicy black fruit character. In the mouth, there is excellent richness, a supple, chewy texture, and an attractive, long, clean finish. Quivira's Zinfandels taste so marvelous young, it is hard to believe they will last. The 1985 provides strong evidence that it is not only possible, but probable.
