A decent enough red blend, this Zinfandel dominant wine has a bit of residual sugar, combined with a touch of acidity and lingering sour currants on the tongue.

This is my favorite of these “leftover blend” TDO wines thus far. It is easy drinking, fruity with gravelly tannins and nicely balanced acidity.

Very light, sweet on the palate, smooth and a bit of spice going down. Can be considered tasteless by those who enjoy heavier wine

I am a bit biased because I worked with the Assistant Winemaker that created this blend but it's one of the best I have had. Complex flavors. Currant, cherry, vanilla, and cream. Medium bodied and oh so smooth. What a great wine and my second favorite for this winery!

Not much depth. Light to start even lighter on the finish.
