Smoky nose, with dark chocolate and red fruit compote.
Jammy on the palate, almost raisiny. A reductive style to be sure - but reasonably balanced and will appeal to many.
Would pair well with barbecue ribs.
Tasted October 2018.

A 2014 Zinfandel from Sonoma County, California. Medium aromas of black plum and roses. It's quite earthy like soil and wet leaves. The finish is quite bitter like chewing on a coffee bean. The tannins are medium to high, acidity well-integrated, but the alcohol was off the charts dominant at 15.1% making the tasting experience imbalanced. I did not enjoy this whatsoever and it was actually a chore to taste. It was a little better (less bitter) served the next day slightly chilled.
