Unlike others I tried, this one had a good body with fantastic blackberry jam and dark bitter chocolate notes. Really solid yet fruity with almost 14% alcohol. There were hints of fennel as well as other herbs and almost a coffee note to the finish, but blackberries is the key.

Aurora NY winery
Not that long ago I went to the Finger Lakes Wine Festival. There were many wines; few I liked. One was this from Long Point Winery, a Zinfandel.
