Surprisingly a nice zin blend. A large, thick fruity wine, as one might expect, but it does have varying layers of fruit. Much better on the first night than on the second. Drink within the next year.

Good fruit-fwd nose, not quite jammy but definitely fruit up front with a little kiss of oak. Nice vibrant flavors on the palate and especially enjoyable tannins on the end. Impressive.

Quite a surprise, as I wasn't expecting much from this given its modest price. Zinfandel dominates the blend, but the remaining 28% mélange seems to add a bit of acidity and food-friendliness. Dark fruit on nose with hints of wood. Medium bodied on the palate with a pleasant peppery backdrop.
