this dessert blend of 66% zinfandel, 21% carignane, 8% syrah and 5% mourvèdre begins with a pruney and alcohol-laden nose, but then peppercorn, clove, indian spice and plum skin aromas emerge. the palate is tense despite the wine's 11% residual sugar, with dried red and black fruit flavors, spicy acidity and a vanilla finish.
