This is a very enjoyable drinking wine. Served from the cellar without decanting in daily Zinfandel glasses. Slightly dusty garnet colors in the glass. This wine has a powerful nose of vanilla. Very fruit forward wine with taste of vanilla and blueberries over a thin layer of earthiness. As the wine warmed began to pick up some tobacco aromas. This is a fairly balanced wine that seemed to lack enough bite of alcohol against the plentiful acids and sugars yet mild tannins. I would peg this one around 87-89 points. This is a good daily “quaffer” around the $20.00-25.00 dollar mark. Drink and enjoy it now.

I bought this from the winery a couple years ago. For a red table wine, it is very enjoyable. Drank mine up quickly. No need to hold. I think I paid $17. Good value at that price.
