Shows subtle bricking. Black cherry and plum flavors with a bit of licorice, mocha and black pepper. Med+ acidity and Med+ slightly drying tannins. Nice match with beef stew. 89+

35% zinfandel, 35% petite sirah, 30% carignane. Quite closed and tannic when opened. Opened up nicely with just a 30-60 minute decant--the tannins relaxed and it developed a velvety mouthfeel.

Nice Zin Blend with deep fruit and earth tones that provide a depth of flavor with a full mouth feel. Will pair well with spicier meat and cheese dishes. A FAVORITE.

This is a beautiful wine - the mix of fruit is very distinctive. The tannins in this particular bottle are fairly strong. I think the current community end-date of 2024 is much too soon - suggesting 2028.

Mmm. Was just looking for a nice glass of red to enjoy with the cooler weather and hit the jackpot. Notes of blackberry, cherry, and tobacco flirt with the tongue. Soft tannins, with a very smooth finish. Will be interesting to see how it develops over the next 20 minutes or so. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. It smells like vanilla, blackberry and tobacco. It tastes like blackberry and blueberry. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. The body is medium. The wine finishes medium.

opens with enticing aromas of black fruits and spicy plum. The wine is plush and soft on the palate, with notes of blueberry jam and toasted spices that linger with a long finish.

Easy drinking, fruit forward Blend of Zin, Petite Sirah and Caribbean. Nice tannins and earth notes are well balanced with a mild nose.
