Light ruby red color. Earthy, gamey flavors of deep plum, prune, red currants, slightly medicinal cherry, coffee. Reminded me of a Chateauneuf du Pape that had slipped past its prime. Acidic and slightly dusty in the mouth. Pungent kirsch-like finish. A rather odd Zinfandel to my taste; others may be more comfortable with it. - HK 2012-04-13
