Very ripe but less alcoholic than I expected for a 15.6% wine. Good varietal and spicy flavors but limited food pairing as it is too big and will dominate most dishes. A bbq wine with Tri Tip and beans. Do not expect much from aging.

Deep ruby color. Smells jammy and explosive, with blackberries mixing with raspberries, and I get cola, sweet tobacco and herbs. Juicy and jammy on the palate with chewy tannins and mild acidity. The black and red berry fruit is jam-packed with flavor. I get sweet cola, coffee and roasted chestnut and vanilla. A massive glycerin-like wine at 15.5% alcohol, but this is fun, crowd-pleasing stuff for sure. Includes some Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 18 months in used and new American and French oak.

Had at Piatti in San Antonio. Great QPR. Big, bold, lovely finish. Almost more of a cab finish than a zin. Would buy again.
