Pours Jam in color. Aromas of bell pepper and dark berries. Flavors the same along with chocolate. It is a velvety wine no drying tannins. Almost like milk chocolate melting on your tongue. Edwin body long finish — 10 years ago

You folks have heard of Elyse Winery, right? They make probably my most favorite zins in Napa. Well this is their other label, named after their son (Elyse is their daughter) - which comprises their estate Cab, a Petite Sirah (from Hayne) and a Bordeaux blend. We bought this many years ago while visiting there and completely lost it somehow until tonight. So beautiful and, more so, a great memory from a past trip. Nice blackberry fruit and chocolate flavors. Not a terribly big wine - soft and smooth and drinking perfectly. — 8 years ago
