Blackberry, raspberry, currant, baking spice, dusty leather and oak. A bit too much brett. Good structure and well-integrated tannins.

2009 The Pines 1852 Big Red, Red Wine, Columbia Valley, OR. Bold blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah & Cab Sauv. The Big Red is velvety on the palate. Hints of chocolate, cherries & red berries. Delicious!
