Description
(78% syrah, 8% sangiovese, 5% merlot, 3% cabernet sauvignon and 1% each of viognier, grenache, cabernet franc, petit verdot, sauvignon blanc and semillon – “todos”, indeed; 50% new French oak), Deep ruby. High-pitched aromas of cherry, candied violet, cracked pepper and incense. Rich and seamless in texture, offering alluringly sweet flavors of cherry compote, vanilla, dark chocolate and floral pastilles. The smooth, persistent finish is distinguished by fine-grained tannins and noteworthy energy. — Josh Raynolds
