this untraditional blend works well, with the leathery 25% merlot component restraining the boisterous fruit of the 75% zinfandel. the nose mixes gravel, black-cherry blossom, mint and black cardamom, while the palate is both ripe and grippy, with olallieberries, plum-skin tannins, woody elderberries and vanilla bean. it's quite complex and dynamic.
