"Saturated bright ruby-purple. Cassis, violet and bitter chocolate on the vibrant nose. Intensely flavored and firm, with bright black fruit flavors framed by harmonious acidity and further lifted by a floral element. Not at all heavy or weighty at 14.8% alcohol. A very bright zinfandel with a firm acid/tannin backbone for development in bottle." Vinous, May 2003 |
