50% Zin, 36% Cab Franc, 6% Petite Sirah, 5% Cab, 3% Merlot. Several hours of air helped very much. Somewhat restrained nose with distant must and earth. The blend of zin and cab franc are wonderful in the mouth. Only a slight high note of alcohol. A great balance of broad ripe fruit and earthy soil, with no heavy tannin. Juicy red and purple berries amid a robust medium body. The finish holds ripe cranberries. Nothing wild and crazy in this wine, but a pleasure for sure. Excellent QVR. Glad to have another bottle and will likely grab more at this price.

A very pleasant drinking, balanced red blend made predominately of Zinfandel and Cab Franc.

Smooth dark fruit on the palate with a slightly tart but not tannic finish. Worthy weeknight wine.

Well made free ranging blend. A bit green and mean, yet here it is. At $12.99 its pushing the category but I could live with that.
