Cloudy dark garnet. Big expressive nose of stewed red fruit, licorice, and cedar. Medium bodied, cherry pie with more cherries on top, black pepper, soft tannins, lots of acid, and a long tangy finish. Very juicy, spouse loved it.

Very cloudy garnet; was this filtered at all? Earth, strawberry jam, and spice nose. Medium bodied, cranberries, tart cherries, some grainy tannins, a little smoke and a lot of heat, and a juicy, medium length finish. Pretty good, especially for a group effort. Drink up!

Still a little alcohol on the nose, but it's very much more integrated now. Bursting fruit flavor...DARK fruits, maybe blackberry or raspberry or something similar. Lots of spice mixed with sweetness. A hint of bitter dark chocolate on the finish.

nose: raspberry, subtle lavender; thin, quaffable; lingering semi-tart flavor; high acid; very strong raspberry flavor - mouth even feels like just ate wild raspberries; tastes "fresh," but not young; didn't taste like high alc. at all, but it really packs a punch! This is drinking really well right now - much more impressed than the initial bottle.

Dark color throughout. Strong Zin fruit tastes a little sweet. Good balance from the other varieties. Drinking very well now. Turning into a nice QPR.
