Dark reddish purple. Inviting, New World nose and smooth medium full palate of black plum, blueberry, blackberry and a hint of vanilla. Medium acidity and medium minus tannins. A tasty NW Zin-based blend that’s ready for dinner or the cookout. Drink now.

I'm in love with this wine. Big fruit, big body, mouth filling and invites you back to play some more. Lots of texture and jammy mouthfeel. Would drink every night if I could.

Dark ruby color with aromas of blue/black fruits with sharp spice. The palate tried to show off fruit flavors but was overshadowed with spices. This medium+ body wine had strong tannins, high acidity with burning alcohol, a bit out of balance. The finish was about medium for this pricey blend. Guess if you are a public company you need to charge more for your wines. I pass.
