Blend of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, & Charbono. Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum with oak, cacao and vanilla. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herb spice and tobacco notes Nice!

15.2% alc.

Big, bold dark fruits, silky-soft tannins, velvety mouthfeel and a sweet lingering finish.
Descriptors that would have had me eagerly running towards a wine twenty years ago now makes me walk away.
Impressive for its sheer size but....

My other sister brought this jambox to the club dinner. 15.2 is a low-ball I'm guessing, this is not my style. #sweettooth #RS

About as ripe as wine gets. Sweet, unctuous, alcoholic. Amazingly like elderberry syrup.

I don’t know what this is supposed to be. Certainly not wine! It starts out sweet, almost like cough syrup or Manischewitz Concord grape. It then punches hard with extremely harsh acidity and alcohol. It takes some time for the unpleasant flavors to dissipate.
