51/rest Zinfandel/Syrah/Petite Sirah/Grenache/Mourvedre/Alicante Bouschet/Carignan/Viognier. Medium nose shows rose petals, red plum, violets, sweet herbs, blackberry pie, baking spice, raspberry. Palate gives up front layers of spice, jammy black fruit, black plum, blueberry. Structure feels like it's mellowed out a touch, definitely New World style but not over the top, medium plus alcohol, medium tannins. Finish shows a little game, blood iron, then more fruit. Nice back vintage.

Plush blackberry, bold earthy nose. Full-bodied fruit complex but not over the top. High alcohol really carries the finish. Very versatile, even great on its own.

Wines At Our Table; March 6 2016; 2/28/2016-3/6/2016: Opaque ruby/purple-color with smoky black and red fruit aromas with a bit of floral aromas. On the palate it full-bodied, and lush with fruity plum, black cherry, and black raspberry flavors. A bit to plump for my palate, but tasty! Blend of 54% Zinfandel/19% Syrah/13% Petite Sirah/6% Alicante Bouschet/4% Grenache/3% Carignane/ 1% Viognier.

Well balanced and a bit of restraint that keeps it in check. Fun to drink and not overripe. Great finish.

Big and vibrant, almost effervescent on the palate. Wild berries and orange peel notes. Interesting blend ready to drink now.
