A delicious Zinfandel based blend from Napa Valley.

Big and full bodied with medium acidity.

Extremely fruity on the palate with a nice mouthfeel.

Showing nice complexity already, although very young.

Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, caramel, dried figs, raisins, sweet vinaigrette and spices.

Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 2 hours of airtime.

A blend of 63% Zinfandel, 16% Charbono, 12% Petite Sirah and 9% Syrah.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Mammoth wine! Very young and deep. Dark purple color with lots of vanilla and oak. Candied, dark fruit that covers the palate with a nice texture. Reminds me of the wines we had in Croatia.

Got this at a steal for $25 after a taste test and adult Easter egg hunt discount! Absolutely love it. Full bodied with medium tannins, jam and dark berries. Will save the bottle for a special occasion steak night.
