Twenty Rows 2004 The Grappler

This was one of two reds served by our friend Laura at book club this month. I don't have any specific notes but recall it as excellent. It is an unusual blend of 58% zinfandel, 30% syrah, 12% cabernet. The winery site's description:

"The Grappler is crafted from carefully selected vineyards to yield an intense, deeply colored wine with concentrated aromas and flavors. We named this wine after our sons who dedicated a lot of time and effort to the sport of wrestling hence, The Grappler. Seamless integration of flavors from start to finish. The wine starts out powerful yet smooth with ripe, spicy, cherry and tobacco flavors on the mid-palate. The finish is accented with cedar and black pepper." - About $20, available at Western and Village Wine Shoppe.

Note: label shows the Cab but the Grappler label looks the same.
