  A bit past it's prime. Somewhat raisiny with some sour notes on the finish with a bit of cocoa and tobacco.

  -- tasted non-blind at Tasting Room --
  -- bottle opened the previous day --
  
  NOSE: sweet; freshly cut grass; not complex (yes, this is a red wine)
  
  BODY: dark purple-garnet color of medium-deep depth
  
  TASTE: loganberry; cigar; oak; tannic, but enough acidity to keep it in balance; full palate; needs some time
  
  B: 50, 5, 11, 14, 6 = 86

  – 53% Zinfandel, 26% Petite Syrah, 21% Barbera –
  
  This unique blend is the flagship wine of Lone Madrone. Apparently wine club members flip over this stuff ... I found it good, but surprisingly middle-of-the-road for such an adventurous blend. The bouquet is complex, with darts of cherry, oak and cedar, but the spicy palate is too oaky. This wine has a garnet color of medium-deep depth, is medium-bodied, and has a short finish.
  
  B: 50, 5, 12, 15, 6 = 88
