Tryst is a blend of three grapes, and an odd triple blend at that, especially if you consider the country of origin (Australia): Cabernet, Tempranillo, and Zinfandel ... As a Zinfandel fan I was positive I would like this even though zin was low man on the totem pole to Cab and Tempranillo ... I also decided a little time would do it some good and I wasn't wrong on either count. The nose if full of plum, blackberry, vanilla and baking spice. The palate also had much to give and the tannins still put up a fight with the tongue, but it also allowed the spiced-plum, cinnamon, dark chocolate and coffee to come through unimpeded. A real taste treat after all these years - so glad I held onto this one.
