What a unique blend! 32% Merlot, 29% Pinot Noir, 29% Zinfandel, 5% Petite Sirah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon...all from Russian River Valley. Gorgeous dark Crimson color, violets & tobacco on the nose; the initial pinot acidity is balanced by tannic structure and softness of the merlot. The petite sirah and cab sneak in on the finish making this a super fun wine with a blend you’d never expect at first sip.

More pepper and spice than I remember when compared to the 2016 vintage. A great bottle but reminds me more of a Zin blend.

Love the spice in this one! Few more bottles on the rack and should last a few more years for sure.

Had this a few times and really tasted the Zin in the blend. Very unique blend.

The predominant Merlot made this a more mellow, lower tannin wine. Kept getting strawberry on the nose and palate. Modest earth tones as well. Really enjoyed this wine.

A mixup in Delectable because this is the Russian River Vineyards Confluence - a Cab Sauv blend that is well worth getting!
