A very appropriate label - dark and brooding like the wine. The details: 42% old vine Zinfandel, 55% Petite Sirah, 3% old vine Mourvedre, 15.0% alcohol, cost approximately $15.00. Deep garnet robe with a thin reddish brown rim. Intense chocolaty bouquet. Thick ripe fruit on palate with little apparent heat or sweetness. A heavyweight with little subtlety or finesse. At peak now and will shortly begin a slow decline. No sediment - I thought there might be a fine dusting inside the bottle. 87/100.
