Shop/wine critic/notes online: "An enjoyable, fairly straightforward Zinfandel with red fruit and tobacco on the nose. To taste, red fruit such as cherry and hints of tobacco, mild earthy tones and maybe some faint spice at the finish. Medium-bodied, some acidity present. Would buy again. Drink with other Zin lovers who don’t mind some acidity, a little dryness, and a little boldness." From Joshua Kozlowski on Vivino: https://www.vivino.com/users/joshua.kozlowski/reviews/229821843.
References from Wine Folly book: From Page 189 in the Wine Folly book, Zinfandel is a fruit-forward but bold red wine that is loved for its jammy fruit and smoky, exotic spice notes. It originates from Croatia. Typical flavors and profiles of Zinfandel from the North Coast of California are blackberry, black plum, crushed gravel, allspice, and white pepper.
Personal review: Smells like dark cherry, plummy. It tasted fruity and a lot less tannic/full bodied than I expected it to be. It was velvety and luscious with a woody/oak finish. I really enjoyed this Zinfandel and it is definitely one of my top red wines now.
