This wine is made with mostly Zinfandel, at 77%, the
remaining 23% is Petit Syrah with alcohol coming in at 14.5%.
This wine opened up with aromas of red cherry,
plum, wild berries, soft leather, spicy and vanilla notes. On the mouthfeel,
medium-full bodied with ripe fruit concentration, spicy, fresh acidity and
silky tannins. The finish is long, spicy with sweet and tart flavours and fine
silky tannins. A lovely, well made Zinfandel, were the fruit is ripe and oak
treatment is well handled, nothing overdone. Perfect paired with anything from
the BBQ or can sip on its own, was very enjoyable. Strongly recommended, score
90 points.
