8.8

Starts out with an acidic overlay of figs, smoke, bark. As the acid abates the tannins rise, laced with vanilla. It likely needs to age further to find its richness. — 9 days ago

75% Zinfandel, 20% petite Syrah, 5% barbera. Pepper on the nose that precedes a sharp tang of dark fruit. Smoke, figs and wood follow on a layer of acidic tannins. Probably needs more time to mellow if I had more patience…. — 3 months ago

At the start splash of dark cherries, plums, oranges wrapped into layers of coffee, smoke and leather. The tannins are a bit thick with a bitterness but this works to offset the acidity. — 2 months ago
