Deep purple hue with high saturation. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, cream, graphite, leather, mint, pepper, plum, rubber, and vanilla. Medium-heavy body; full, rich, and smooth tannins; and high acidity. Surprisingly complex for a bargain pick at Grocery Outlet. Velvety and jammy on the palate with a bold, lingering finish with a hint of savory. Zinfandel-based blend with Syrah and Petite Sirah added.

Opened this with the intention of pouring a cup into a pot roast recipe and freezing the rest for future cooking. But it smelled decent enough so wound up drinking it. Nothing remarkable but pleasant quaffing. 85.

74% Zinfandel 21% Petite Sirah 5% Syrah. Too sweet for my tastes. Maybe I just don't appreciate Zin, but my wife thought this blend was "OK".

Aromatic black cherry notes. Not very complex, foul finish.
