Is Eight Years In The Desert a good wine?
Tasting profile
A bold, fruit-forward Zinfandel blend with thick, ripe black cherry and blackberry up front, supported by leather, tobacco, black pepper, and earthy coffee notes. Big and complex enough to be mistaken for a Cab, it drinks tight at first and rewards 20-30 minutes of decanting to show its smooth, sophisticated punch.
