75% Zinfandel, 20% petite Syrah, 5% barbera. Pepper on the nose that precedes a sharp tang of dark fruit. Smoke, figs and wood follow on a layer of acidic tannins. Probably needs more time to mellow if I had more patience…. — 6 months ago

An easy favorite. Earthy aroma, with black cherries, figs, coffee and licorice. Tannins are laced with leather, smoke and mild acidity that holds tight. — 19 hours ago
