Pours a light purple almost violet in color. Pepper smacks you in the face upon smelling along with fresh blueberries. Initially in your tongue is pepper but after it leaves blueberry and a savoriness follow. It is a full bodied #Zinfandel with classic Black Sears characteristics. An extremely long finish.

First taste, great fruit, vegetale(sp?). Mild acid/tannin, can't wait to get to the bottom
