Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2014 vintage is a blend of Zinfandel, Alicante Bouschet, Petite Sirah, and Syrah in that order. Dark ruby in appearance the nose showcases a clash of black raspberries and currants with supporting roles of white pepper and cigar box. The palate kicks off with dark fruit jams, vanilla and cassis while the composed acidity and firm tannins bring you to a subtle but lasting finish.

Folks, if you still have this in your cellar, save it for those friends who can appreciate a powerful, yet well balanced belnd that is sure to please with a beautiful integration of oak, tannins, fruit, and dark power.
