I did not particularly enjoy this blend. I liked it at the winery. Started out ok, with big fruit and spice on the nose and palate. Over the hour+ that we drank it, it acquired a very zin-like nose and aroma. Jammy on the palate, with Zin-like tones. Very un-rhone like. I could not find any real technical fault, I just did not care for the blend. Not like a Rhone, more like a wierd non-standard Cali-blend.
