Inky black red color with complex, exuberant mixed black and red fruit, leather, violets and a hint of eucalyptus aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied, focused, persistent and oh so fresh with seamless, well-integrated tannins, and a silky texture with black cherry, blackberry, with hints of black raspberry, and red plum flavors. Long finish. The 2006 vintage is singing right now!

Wine is in a nice place. A fun blend at 58%zin/40%carignane, a smidge of petite sirah at 2% and favorable 13.7% ABV. Sadly my last bottle but worth the wait. Easy floral nose and vanilla flavors complementing the soft carmelized finish from the generous amount of carignane. Big hit with varied dinner group over tri tip and grilled veggies.
