An interesting blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, and Merlot but one that kind of works. Although it needed a 1+ decant once open it exudes flavors of fig & stewed black fruits with notes of oregano, cocoa and coffee beans. Pallate is rich but a bit disjointed at times and you'd be hard pressed to guess the 14.7% ABV. [11/29/23] ($30)

Nothing flawed about it, but nothing exciting either. Red fruit and high tannin without specific flavor notes. Would not rebuy.

Unintegrated tannins. Needs longer aging.

Drank within hour of delivery, probably bottle shocked. Needs aged.
