If you want over the top berry bombs, Orin Swift is your line. Papillon is my favorite. Great new world red blend.



From the website

quote:

An inky, dark garnet sits in the glass with bursting aromatics even from afar—ripe blackcurrant and blackberry with hints of Kirsch, Madagascar vanilla and cigar box. Velvety and rich on entry and through the mid, the wine offers flavors of dark plum, blueberry and notes of fennel, fresh leather and a subtle minerality. Plush, layered and dense, the wine finishes with dusty tannins and a lingering touch of black cherry.


That sounds delicious. But at $70/ bottle, won't be getting this often.

Yeah it’s not an everyday bottle.

Abstract is $35ish and very good as well.

We've been enjoying Frank Family's Zinfandel lately. A little cheaper than Orin Swift, though I do agree that Orin Swift is great stuff.
