8 years in the Desert (by winemaker Dave Phinney of “The Prisoner” fame) is a rich red blend comprised of mostly Zinfandel along with Petite Sirah, Syrah, and small percentages of other red varietals. Heady aromas of brambly raspberry, black fig and peppercorn dominate; time in glass exposes more—dark chocolate, fennel and High Sierra forest floor. The palate is lush and opulent with blackberries, dark plums and currants. More flavors add to the quality of the blend—a visceral minerality and fresh Herbs de Provence. Fully integrated with puckering tannins, the wine bows out with finesse. BLEND: Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah. Aged for 8 months in French Oak, 30% New Show more
