Drink only on the 2nd day or later. Opened 1st day but was very hot, with overpowering alcohol. . Corked back up and had the 2nd day. A huge difference. Wonderful mixed dark berry fruit had integrated nicely with subtle tannins and lower alcohol. Good peppery finish. Should lay down well for 5+ years. Good structure and well balanced.

Was suggested by Total Wine salesman as a big and jammy wine. Was enjoyable but nowhere near the fruit bomb of a Rombauer or equivalent. Not bad for the price but give me Rombauer for a huge zin!
