  Annual Caroling & Chili Party (R&D's): Youthful color with dark zin fruit and peppery spice on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied and balanced, finishing with good length. Always reliable and a crowd pleaser. (R&D)

  Medium dark ruby red. Decanted for sediment and tasted from a PnP. Lots of fine sediment in the bottle.
  
  Beautiful nose. Stewed cherries, cherry liquor, fresh blackberries, violets, and clove-driven spiced cocoa. Medium bodied, nice bright acidity, and a ton of structure. Bright fresh plums, dried blackberries and cherries, a bit of raspberry liquor, sweet baking spices with nutmeg and cloves coming to the top, a bit of leather, a hint of violets. A lot of structure from the angular tannins, although they feel a bit softer as the wine gets more air. Tannins dry out the mouth leading to a persisting finish of dried blueberries, minerals, leather, violets, and black pepper.
  
  I can’t imagine this getting any better than this. There’s a constant battle between blue fruits from the PS vs the red fruits from the Zin going on. Just lovely.

  Strawberry and raspberry flavors. Pairing with steak fajitas was okay, but not ideal.

  Seemed to hit the spot. The PS must give it the structure. Full-bodied, complex integrated fruit, quite smooth, nice finish.
