Winemaker's Notes
A triple play of Zinfandel, Merlot and Petite Sirah, this wine is seriously big without being overpowering. Each grape contributes unique characteristics to the wine. The Petite Sirah provides black pepper and blue fruit flavors, while the Merlot offers notes of black cherry and green olive. The Zinfandel imparts additional sophisticated berry and spice flavors. Full-bodied and rich in character, this wine can easily be enjoyed on its own or with any hearty style dish, like a beef stew or rib-eye steak.

4 Stars / Spirit of Wine
“Deep black fruit...husky, bold and aromatic...with strong savory and sweet spices melded in. Soft, sweet, spiced and structured. Finishes aromatic and clean. An awesome best value.”
86 Points / Intoxicology Report
“Zinfandel, petite sirah and merlot, the wine is quite well done in the genre: an explosive jam bomb filled with stewed fruits, brown sugar, black pepper and big billows of cooked plum with cinnamon.”
