Sweet, full and just about lovely. This baby has all the fruit and richness that you might find in a California Zin but it is tied together with a lighter feel and slightly sharp tannins. The Malbec adds the richness and the sweet fruit while the Bonarda brings acidity, spiciness and some serious grape tannins. From 40 year-old vines.
