winemaker's notes:
A blend of 91% Zinfandel and 9% Petite Syrah.
Ruby red and purple in hue, this wine has aromas of ripe red fruit, with hints of sage, cinnamon and pepper. The fruit flavors flesh out on the palate, dominated by raspberry, boysenberry
and red cherry, complemented by hints of nutmeg, rosemary and spice, for a classic varietal character. Soft, supple tannins create a firm, yet lush mouthfeel. With its bright fruit-forward
flavor profile, this wine is created for immediate enjoyment.
critical acclaim:
"A fine Zinfandel, rich and briary, with wild
forest flavors of black and blue berries,
Asian spices, tangerine zest and smoky
sandalwood. Full-bodied and dry, it’s nice
now and for the next few years."

I would not buy this wine again
Decent wine for the price, but the Artezin 06 Dry Creek Zin was much better for similar price. Try that one instead.

I would buy this wine again
We had purchased this wine at J Alexander's restaurant, and really enjoyed it, but had not seen it anywhere in retail. When we saw it on wine.com, we immediately bought all the bottles they had in stock.
