(15.8% alcohol; includes 3% alicante bouschet) Dark ruby with a purple rim. Fresh, sappy aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, licorice and sandalwood. Highly concentrated, liqueur-like black fruit flavors are enlivened by a peppery quality and framed by racy acidity. This offers wonderfully vibrant zinfandel fruit and impressive length on the aftertaste.
