Deep purple hue with high saturation. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, cream, graphite, leather, mint, pepper, plum, rubber, and vanilla. Medium-heavy body; full, rich, and smooth tannins; and high acidity. Surprisingly complex for a bargain pick at Grocery Outlet. Velvety and jammy on the palate with a bold, lingering finish with a hint of savory. Zinfandel-based blend with Syrah and Petite Sirah added.

Great flavors, smooth with a lot of body, dark fruits but not bitter. Paired well with a rib eye steak. Will buy again.
