| The Monster as it turns out is not to be feared but enjoyed.
This Zinfandel has a lot to offer. The wine is a medium ruby
red and the nose will discover spicy blackberry, raspberry
along with a touch of savory cedar. A mouthful of wine is
where you find the candied, jammy fruit to be enjoyed.
Tannins are integrated well into the wine along with an
ample body The Monster has a generous finish.
Alcohol is 15.2% adding a nice touch of warmth while not
overpowering.
