A dry, deeply flavorful and impressive Zinfandel that’s still young at the age of three-plus years. Shows an immaculate structure of strong tannins and acids framing intense flavors of blackberries and plums, spiced with pepper and finished with the scour of espresso. Needs a little time, though. Give it 1–3 years.——S.H.(4/1/2010)—— 92
