Tasting Notes:
Monte De Oro's Zinfandel / Syrah blend is a dry, full-bodied wine that opens up nicely after decanting for 30 minutes. It has a burnt, red brick color. Its bouquet consists of dark black fruits, coupled with slight pepper and all-spice from the Syrah component. There is a rich taste of cherry, dark currants and boysenberry with very subtle and mild tannins. The taste is smooth and jammy with a hint of oak. There is a medium to somewhat long lingering fruit finish.
