Dark color. Darker than the UW colors. Smells like plums and potpourri. Flavor is clean and zingy. Taste is nice blend of dark berry fruit spread (no sugar) & leathers. Slight hint of autumn in Spokane as well -dry maple leaves? It’s full and has a nice tannic hit at end. — 2 days ago

The label has some serious hipster style. Needs a mustache to make it over the top. Looks like a mixologist menu. Darkish color. Smells a bit funky. But good funky. Hint of some green Italian herbs. Maybe sweet savory? And red/black berries. Flavors are a bit muddy but tasty. Interesting mix. Both varietals come through. Tannins and tart cherries from the Sangiovese and licorice and luscious blackberry, mulberry and red peppers from the Petite Verdot. It’s pretty simple, but it’s gratifying. — 6 days ago

Mosquito-veinous blood-red color. Smells lovely. Herbal tonic and mixed elderberry-blackberry jelly. Bit of tart cherry as well. Also rosehip tea. Flavor is meaty and savory. Black olives, under-ripe cherries and something sanguine. Hint of light roast cold brew coffee. Hint of hard-candy licorice sweet at the end. This is lovely CA Syrah. Drinking spectacularly. — 14 days ago

Heavy bottle. Could use it as a workout weight. Funny tornado of notes print on the label. Dark purple. Not rosy like most zins. Smells a bit tart and hint smokey. Flavors are big, full and ripe. It’s a very fruit bombed experience. Has ham and jam. It’s just not very distinct. Kinda a fat, vanilla, caramel hot Zin, lacking in bite. — 5 days ago

Lighter red color than I expected. Kinda a dark rose color. Nose is pencils and damp granite gravel river bed. And cherry Coke. Flavors are very dry and the whole classroom pencil sharpener. Also has rose petals and black chocolate mixed with anise and charred meats. Hint of blood. — 10 days ago

Rosy red and bright in the glass. Smells tart, like little mountain strawberries and cranberry relish. Also Christmas trees covered in burning candles. Taste is elegante. Cherry milk chocolate cordials. (But the good ones...). Strawberry pie tartlets. Cranberry juice cocktail. Tannic and pretty tart to finish things up. Kinda like French Grenache, Gamay and CA coastal Pinot made a threesome in a bottle. It’s pretty lovely. — 14 days ago

Dark color. Dark label. Dark fruits on the nose. Flavor is dark coffee and dark berries. Not out of character for Malbec from Arg. It’s just a bit too much of that grape soda and Kool Aide stuff that their Malbec drifts towards. It’s got a bit of chewiness and some decent complexity though. — 5 days ago

Lovely crimson color. Nose has fresh berries/black cherry and herbs like sage and dill. Flavors are minty, savory and jammy. Simple. Plenty of acid. Anise there too. Jammy? It’s a nice red blend. Plenty of coastal Zin. Maybe some merlot too. Price point makes your day. — 8 days ago

Lovely dark red color. Nose is fruity and floral (rose potpourri/damask) with a hint of leather. Flavor is very dry. Lots of perfumed dark fruits. Blackberries and black cherry juice. Some nice woodsy stuff. Bitter dark chocolate backbone. Complex and clearly intense. Nice blend of the classic cherry and cassis thing you get in the two varietals. Tart. Heavy on the tannins. Slightly savory to complete the ‘experience’. — 12 days ago
