TASTING NOTE: 

On the nose the rich, ripe character of the vintage comes across immediately on the nose with blackberry jam and cocoa along with cinnamon, clove, and sandalwood. On the palate the brambly, smoky character of the old vine Zinfandel is on display here as notes of tobacco, flint, and bacon fat comingle with fresh figs, black walnut, and plum sauce. For the finish the finish comes gracefully amidst dusty tannins, dark chocolate, black pepper and creme de menthe.
