Easy to please. The Zin really shines through, but the Cab, Merlot, and Syrah add some serious depth. Raspberry, kirsch, milk chocolate, loam, and leather, with some polish on the finish.

VGS indeed! Another solid year of Illegitimate. Not many layers or complexity. Not overly oaky, either. Just easy to drink. Kept getting better over the course of a few hours. Perfect for a group with diverse preferences. Great Christmas-crowd wine. $30 bargain.
