Nice blend which had some good solid characteristics of petite syrah with spicy plums and violets, and the tannin of carignan. I don't think there's much point in holding this.

Very nice blend of Zin, Petite Sirah and Carignane. Nice dusty mouthfeel with plenty of fruit, numerous flavor profiles and a long finish. Opened and tasted. It was good. Waited 45 minutes and it was really good. Went really well with a steak. Seevral others just enjoyed drinking it witout food.

Not over powering fruit but picked up plum and blackberry. Good American oak and some firm tannins. Good food wine.

Wonderful Blackberries and plums. A bit jammy at first but a wonderful spicy lingering aftertaste. This wine becomes more balanced as it takes air.
