the actual winemakers' hands

i can attest, this is a great bottle. Have you tried the Orin Swift "The Prisioner" as well? It's another great bottle for 35-50 bucks at the store for the 2007, however i like the vintages of this bottle a little more.
2007 Red Wine
The 2007 blends the lush berry flavors of Zinfandel, the power and concentration of Cabernet Sauvignon, the dark black fruit of Syrah, the intensity and structure of Petite Sirah, the flesh of Charbono, and a hint of Grenache - all combined for a decadent wine with great complexity.

50% Zinfandel
24% Cabernet Sauvignon
14% Syrah
9% Petite Sirah
2% Charbono
1% Grenache

If that's the case then I am picking up a few bottles for sure. Thanks for the heads up!

MTK turned me onto The Prisoner sometime last year. I've gone through a case over the last year. Love it!
