Found this interesting wine at a summer wine tasting event. Just a bit hazy medium red ruby wine. On the nose, it present with a clean, medium intensity interesting aroma of a bunch of unique aromas. I found it unlike anything else I have smelled. I get a mix of flora, violets or lavender, almost like a lovely cologne and then some spices with that.
This wine presents as off dry, lower acidity, tannins are pungent rich to medium, but not overwhelming. Flavors of red cherry, black cherry, mocha and spice are just a unique experience….you have to try this to understand what I mean here. I cannot say I have ever had a Syrah and Zinfandel blend, just by themselves. Have you? The finish is quite beautifully long and stays on your tongue and the teeth and upper lip for some time. Outstanding quality and unique wine. Will purchase again.
