This wine would have been an impossibility for me to make a guess at if served blind. It had a Pinot Noir-like medium purple color and a Zinfandel-like nose of dark fruit and spice. On the palate, the wine was smooth with Cabernet-like blackberry flavor and a Merlot-like soft finish. The depth of fruit was a little thin and the tannins were soft. Ready now. Much better than I expected. 87
