WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
An enticing nose of of spice, black tea and candied bacon covered in fudge. On the palate it is a mouthwatering mélange of blue fruit flavors backed by bright balanced acid, rustic leather tannins and meaty tones giving way to a smooth, milk chocolate finish.
Blend: 25% Petite Sirah, 23% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 8% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre, 5% Malbec, 4% Grenache, 4% Tannat, 3% Zinfandel
TASTING NOTES:
This big, focused and nicely concentrated wine offers potent blueberries and blackberries, with hints of dark chocolate and mint. Moderate tannins and good balance keep it appetizing in texture.
