My Strength Rating: 5
Upon opening the bottle the aroma just fills the air with fresh berries and a touch of chocolate. The palate is greeted with wonderful strawberry and raspberry like goodness. There is a mix of black current, oak, a touch of caramel, along with some mocha on the back of the tongue. As the wine opens up the vanilla oak profile builds on the aftertaste. The texture is velvety smooth. I would not guess this to be a Zinfandel. I do like this wine.
