Very nice. Nose of tobacco, red fruits and a touch of spice. Ripe raspberry and chocolate were the predominate flavors. It was even better the second night.

Blown away by this wine. This was the best of the bottles we drank this weekend (including 2 good Cotes du Rhone). Bigger than I expected for a Tempranillo blend. Deep purple color. Blackberry, tobacco, round ripe tannnins. Absolutely delicious.

A decent old vine zin. A little thinner than most, but still packed a punch. Slightly sweet with blackberry and leather.
