54/27/19 blend of petite sirah, petit verdot and teroldego. Dense purple red. Floral, blueberry and blackberry aromas, blackberry jam, and black pepper finish. Some seed tannins, decant. After two hours, skin tannins get grippy, yet varietal flavors remain well expressed; you can taste the petite Sirah and petit Verdot in there, though I really am not familiar with teroldelgo as a varietal. Worth drinking just to see the future of world wines as growers continue to shift to new varieties that grow and express well with global warming

Feel this needs to be enjoyed with a steak. Strong aroma. Dark and opaque. Velvety texture. Medium high tannins. Vanilla. Heavy body. Big personality

Color of dark purple, quite inky. Nose of dark fruits, plum, currants, aldehyde, crayon, medicinal strawberry syrup, spicy alcohol in the nasal cavity, spice of leather, and hint of honey note. Taste follows the nose with addition of mellow tannins, cherry, vanilla, and a bit smoky feature. Aftertaste is medium long with warm alcohol in the throat. Pretty silky and tasty.

Date night dinner of tomahawk steaks and lobster tails and needed a big red to combat the impending cholesterol-induced heart attack. It did it’s job, we’re still here to write this review. Seriously though it was a really nice deep luscious wine and paired well with the meal. Will buy again.
