A little ripe and rich for my taste, but definitely worth drinking. I appreciate the effort. Rebuy.

This vineyard in Contra Costa County, planted in the 1890s, with a beach sand soil is a rare survivor of urbanisation. Field blend of roughly 40% Carignane, 38% Mourvèdre, with the remainder Zinfandel, Palomino, Alicante and Misson.
Dark ruby with medium depth. Fresh nose with black cherries, blackberries, spices and dark chocolate. Nose seems more complex than the taste. Straightforward, juicy fruit, spicy and fragrant, with a dark bitter chocolate finish. High acidity makes this very easy to drink. Lacks a bit of complexity and charm though. Abv 14,2 %, 2012 vintage. 30 euro.

From the same winemaker as Shebang. Really powerful and dense with flavor without being overly oaked or extracted. Rose petal, baked fruit, and gravel notes. Scored really well and has a ton of press. I would recommend it to collectors looking for something to cellar as well as to Prisoner fans looking for a pleasurable and intense blend.

A bit heavier than the '11. Gets the nice herbal notes after some decant
