Never tasted a wine with 18%+ alc level. Amazingly well put together. Complex earthy, leather, oak and spice all there with prominent tobacco notes coming through in the glass. Nicely ripened red fruit here. Almost "Ridge"-like after a few more hours. A very interesting wine!

This is a monster. It has 18.4% alcohol! Lots of black pepper and some raspberry. A touch of oak and spice. Really, leally good. Should drink well for the next 5-10 years.

Needs hour or two yo open up. Raspberries, vanilla, smooth, but lot's of alcohol if rushed. Not best with prime rip I think.

Raspberry flavors abound, and not too sweet. A delicious, not jammy, zinfandel.
