Young but showing promise. Good dark berry fruit, spice, leather, firm tannins.

Leathery, smoky with a good balance of fruit. Medium bodied. Delicious with paella!

So juicy and big. Fat and fun. Was looking for some acid to lend some structure.

Paydirt is a Rhone style blend with a generous amount of Zinfandel thrown in. Rich fruit up front, super dark purple hue, hints of spice, and a lovely velvet texture on your tongue. I would have rated this wine higher if the finish was longer. Regardless, very enjoyable.
