Admittedly, I just picked this one because of the name. It’s a rather clever name to boot since it’s a blend of three grapes: Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet. The nose is all plums and blackberries and the flavor is mildly sweet but dominated by acidity. It has a tannic, medium length finish that tops off this unexceptional California blend. I know I’m cheap but I expect more at this price level.
