- Garnet color - I agree with prior notes that this is a nice, easy-drinking Zinfandel blend. A hint of preserved strawberries, with mild black pepper, earthy mushroom. Not over the top in any area, but more interesting than most Cali zins.

Nearly black in glass, this black-fruit blend of Zinfandel, Cab, Petit Syrah and Petit Verdot shows levels of blackberry, tar, black cherry on the palate, grainy tannins and a touch of a minty or menthol in the mix. Medium-long finish.
