Top Notes For

8.8

Jammy, smoky, and spicy, Full and silky, though a bit syrupy, on the palate.

I thought there was Zin in the blend, but the 15’ is a blend of 40% CS, 32% Syrah and 16% Malbec and the rest Petite Sirah and CF. I was glad to see the 13.5% ABV on the label, but it sure tastes heavier than that. And then the fact sheet states 14.8%, which seems more likely.
