Pretty good red blend, very rich with significant warming effect. I became an optimist after drinking!

Very similar to Prisoner, but a more wallet friendly price.

I definitely taste Zinfandel, and I was told it has Syrah. Tobacco and a slight jammy-ness. Very good. Great purple color.

A delightful weekend wine. Pairs great with streak and lamb. I’m not a pessimist but yet love it. Brass and bold
