A blend of 46% Zinfandel, 31% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, possessing a wonderful approachability while still expressing the character of each of its component grapes. The Zinfandel really comes through in the aromas of blackberry and raspberry jam with hints of black cherries, currants and spice, while the Merlot provides a soft texture with flavours of plums and cherries, and the Cabernet Sauvignon contributes richness and an underlying structure. The tannins are quite soft, but despite the easy drinkability of this wine, it still maintains nice character and freshness. And, as with any good blend, the wine is quite harmonious and a well-knit sum of its individual parts. An excellent value. (GB - Tidings, September 2011)
Bright, vibrant and intense aromas of spice, a smoky meatiness, and hints of tobacco with flavours of wild berries, and white pepper that linger through the firm finish. Rich and intense, pair with ribs, game, or steak au poivre. (GB - Tidings, November 2010)
