Winery Review: Vibrant, ripe notes of summer raspberry intoxicate the senses, enticing you to take a sip of this lively red zinfandel. Once on the palate, plush and round flavors of pomegranates meld with fresh cracked peppercorn, juniper and anise. Playful and serious at the same time, the mouth-coating tannins relax into a smooth and supple finish: long, lingering and full of enjoyment.

My Review: This was a big wine and a varietal I was excited to try. The nose was hot and very fruity, very jammy. There were hints of raspberries and cherries and a slight oakiness. The taste was also hot and jammy but bold. There were a lot of red fruits noticeably cherry on the palate. It has a hot, long finish. At 14.5% alcohol the heat is to be expected. Very good wine though. It was thoroughly enjoyable. I also tried this with Manchego cheese and it cut through the heat and brought out more raspberry taste.
