Dueling Pistols
Dual Varietal Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Syrah
Interesting blend of Zinfandel (50%) and Syrah (50%). Dark ruby/purple color with a violet rim. Aromas of dark berry fruit, black tea, pepper spice, dried herbs and a touch of barnyard funk. Juicy cooked black berry/raspberry fruit on the palate with additional flavors of black pepper, baking spices, roasted meat and black licorice. Touch of vanilla on the long and brooding finish. Full bodied, dense and quite powerful, but the wine is nicely balanced. Very approachable. Thank you for the wonderful gift, Ron B!

Feb 20th, 2024The ripe and sweet fruits belie the complexity and depth this bottle offers. There are subtle smokiness and meatiness. Plush palate. Finishes long and intense.

Apr 30th, 2023The nose is deep and opulent with blueberry jam, black cherry, nutmeg, black pepper, vanilla, and hint of cured meat. On the palate it’s rich , thick, yet silky smooth like melted chocolate, with touch of dried herbs. Ripe integrated tannins.
Very delicious blend.

Dec 31st, 2020Good Syrah blend. Jammy like a Zin but finishes smooth and not too dry . Definitely worth buying again.
