Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Blend of Grenache, Syrah & Petite Sirah, very dark Ruby with purple center, aromas of fresh ripe black and blue fruits with floral and spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum and blackberry with cacao, espresso, pepper and vanilla notes with savory chewy tannins, well balanced, long finish ending with fruit and toasty vanilla oak. Nice! Consistent Quality! A Fav! — 4 days ago
