Shows great energy and zesty focus, with expressive blackberry, mocha espresso and savory pepper flavors that speed toward refined tannins.

Wine Enthusiast

Dark, deep and pure fruit flavors mingle with subtle cinnamon and vanilla oak spices in this lush and luscious wine that relaxes in soft tannins. Ripe, indulgent and yet balanced so as not to feel heavy, this wine is truly distinctive. 15% Petite Sirah and 5% Carignane are included.
