Nose: big nose of peppery zinfandel and spicy syrah whether I guess correctly. Fruity plumbs supply the fruity nose.
Palate: balance is so-so. Tannins are ok but the acidic structure is thin and hollow making the mouth feel weaker than promised by the nose. Still, it flows nicely and the fruit flavors of of dark stone fruit (hahaha, I’ve always wanted to write that -I really mean plumbs, pluots, possibly cherries etc)
Finish:round and fruity again, pleasing and smooth.

This is not an expensive wine but it is a fun wine to drink. that specific

bottle was a gift to me from the Hilton hotel in Beijing China where I was staying last week on business. Yes, I brought it home, so that California wine has been around the world, to be enjoyed here in the USA.

It is a fine wine for casual drinking. Its big nose and fruity palate construct it easily accessible. It is bold and will hold up well to spicy dishes.

Raise a Glass!
