  Varietal: 68% Zinfandel, 20% Carignane, 10% Petite Sirah,
  2% Alicante Bouschet

  Nose: raspberries, blackberry jam, blueberries, plum, sage, vanilla,
  Palate: rich and fruit driven with raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, oak,
  Finish: silky smooth, fairly balanced, rich and deep,
  Comments: This a Geyserville that is soo user/food friendly. It has everything. Rich nose, voluptuous texture, beautiful fruit, integrated balance. The finish is, however, just a tad bit short, like others in CT have stated. Which keeps it out of the 92-94 range. Maybe in 2-4 years.
