  mild and very drinkable. Nice smokey flavor. Easy on the pallet with a pleasant spice to it. 15% alcohol but very smooth like a swinger!

  pretty good wine. has very nice flavors, lots of spicyness. does not stand up the the zins we tasted up in dry creek though; it lacks some robustness. also a somwhat hot finish

  Close to undrinkable, at least that was the opinion of many on the table. The boysenberry, and crushed rose petals were over the top and demanded the drinker's attention, which is a shame. The blackberry, pepper, and oak that lies in the back are nice, but not with that much noise in the foreground and on the lingering finish. The nose is nice with blackberry, boysenberry, rose petals, and oak. The mouth is wrecked with the over the top floral presentation that is followed by enough boysenberry to suffocate a horse. The mid palate is balanced with acidity and oak, but the finish is down hill with more of the same ills. This wine did not improve with time or air.
