Decent enough, but pales in comparison to Kirschmann Vineyard zins from other producers, which are admittedly pretty tough competition.

black and red fruits, mainly blackberries, cola gummy, prunes, acid balanced with the tannins, however, slightly hot finish #zinfandel #lodi

Takes a little time to open and balance out, good fruit and fullness, nice oak on the finish
