Ruby hue with medium-high saturation. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, leather, oak, pepper, raspberry jam, sugarplum, tar, and vanilla. Medium-plus body; medium-plus tannins; and medium-plus acidity. Fruit-forward on the nose, with a velvety texture on the palate and a medium-length finish. Solid, and surprisingly complex, Zinfandel-based blend (with Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon).

This is case worthy, sweeter than expected but smooth and darkly balanced. I didnt rate the cola but the sweetness one thinks of with that drink is applicable

A little too much cola at the beginning but as it settles it becomes a cultivated flavor of raspberry with little bit of clove
