Tasty, idosyncratic old-vine Zinfandel field blend from Geyserville. Big-boy aromas and flavors touch on dark cherry, dark currants, blackberry liqueur. Extremely spicy and touched with distinctive earthy/savory notes. Mouthcoating density, but not overtly sweet or ponderous. I'm anxious to revisit this wine in a year or two to see how it evolves.. Outstanding price at JJ Buckley. - HK 2022-01-21
