This is deep and dark-fruited with toasted spices, smoked cedar, nut shell and earth. Full-bodied, and compact with juicy acidity and polished tannins. Deep and lengthy fruit character with notes of blueberry jam. A little chewy at the end. A blend of 70% zinfandel, 20% petite sirah, 7% syrah and 3% grenache. Drink or hold.
