Deep purple color. Bright and dense boysenberry and red currant jelly with hints of strawberry licorice are the results of the marriage of zinfandel and Petite Sirah. The rich, fruit-dominant midpalate swims over and settles into a looooong herbal, English breakfast finish. In between, we sensed spices like cardamom and green peppercorns and touches of orange pith. This one got a lot going on, folks. Tingly tannins will give it cellar life...this is a terrific vintage of Trailblazer that you won't want to miss.
Pairs perfectly with Japanese Pork Tonkatsu--pork cutlets with a plum-based barbeque/curry sauce.
