Once I recovered from the odd closure (a "zork"?), greeted by a clear, dark ruby color. On the nose, oak, vanilla (from the oak), and big black, red fruits. Was uncertain how I would respond, frankly. But in my glass, slightly spicy (Syrah?), nice fruit and acid balance, tannins not as rough as anticipated - really softened and became even more lovely over time, moderate-long finish. Very drinkable, nice layers to the mix. Would definitely purchase again.

The wine looks inky purple colored. It smells like blackberry, plum and burnt wood. It tastes like mineral, strawberry jam, blackberry, resin and medium toast. The body is medium/full. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
If I had to guess this contains Zinfandel, petite sirah, and syrah.

There's nothing wrong with this wine, but it's nothing special.
