Mostly Zinfandel with a small amount of Petite Sirah
and Syrah, with maturation in a combination of American, French and Hungarian
oak for 19 months, alcohol comes in at 14.5%.
A beautiful sensuous nose on this Zin, with aromas of
black cherry, wild berries, raisins, toasty oak, saddle leather, vanilla and
espresso notes. On the mouthfeel, medium-full bodied with ripe fruit
concentration, peppery, cola flavours, nice acidity and silky tannins. This
wines finish is a medium length with ripe and rich fruit concentration, peppery
and savoury notes and a beautiful velvety texture. Great flavours on this
Zinfandel, awesome value and strongly recommended. Score 89 points.
