Back to tasting again. It feels really nice to be opening bottles again, and I'll begin having some comparison tasting very soon.
However, one recent opening is this surprisingly good bottle. This is a blend of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Mouvedre. The wine is just huge, as you would expect it to be. It has a very good tannic backbone, and huge fruit in the palate. It has a rich nose of jammy blackberry, currant and tobacco. The wine is a bit lite in acidity, but overall the balance is good. This leads to a very long finish with layers of woody flavors holding up the persistent black fruit.
The wine paried well with a rich steak tartare and worked with a buffalo dish. Recommended with meat and game, particulaly those with rich, sweet sauces.
