Great blend of 88% Zin, 9% Carignane, 3% Petite Syrah (spelled Sirah on the bottle???). Reminds me much of the peachy canyon I enjoyed a few back only better with all the great red zin fruit and even a touch of blueberry. A bit hot on the finish but still very nice. We bought a few of these on the honeymoon and were told by the tasting room dude that this was the last vintage.

Got a few of these last week when we were out. They had less than two cases left in the tasting room. Probably wait six months or so before we crack one.

Opened another with family for a pre-Christmas dinner. Was absolutly outstanding at this point. So much black cherry, you would think you could pick one out of the glass. Only one left in the cellar. Maybe save it for next year.

GAD, I like your way of describing it--"so much black cherry you would think you could pick one out of the glass." Some wines really do evoke other fruits or tastes.
