Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: "A multi-vintage blend of Zinfandel, Petite Verdot, Petite Syrah, and Merlot that is full-bodied and fruit forward with a spicy and complex finish. This wine has been partially barrel aged for eight months in American and French oak."
This wine caught me off guard completely. I really liked the color as it was a nice, rosy red. On the nose it was slightly unpleasant. I picked up some earthy tones rather than a fruity bouquet like usual which I found to be pretty complex. On the palate though, the fruit came through very prominently and it had a welcoming smooth mouth feel with a cherry finish. In the end the nose of this wine did not match the palate and I ended up really enjoyed this wine.
