2013 vintage. A bit shy on the nose initially, but opens up nicely in the glass, so give it 10 minutes to show the dark berries and a hint of cinnamon. Juicy in the mouth with very good acidity, slightly rustic tannin and good length.

Bold. I got the Zinfandel heavy with this, but got hints of syrah and cab that rounded it out. Nice for the price point. Would be a bomb bbq wine.

Typically fruit-forward blend, seems like mostly Syrah with Cab to add dryness and a rich finish.
