A robust yet smooth blend of Petite Sirah, Carignane, Zinfandel, Syrah, Barbera, Alicante Bouschet and Mourvèdre. Who cares what each variety contributes, it's simply plum delicious (blackberry and briary spuce too).

Strong nose of jammy fruits, medium bodied, silky smooth, not really dry.

Amazing blend I feel like it had a lot of Zin due to the spicy finish. Definitely recommend

Red blend. Notes of plum and tart black cherry. Earthy, moderate tannins. Full bodied, great value. $14

Solid blend (and inexpensive too!) from Ravenswood. 7 different grapes comprise Besieged. Good stuff.

Super rich and smooth. Great dark cherry and cassis with just a hint of oak.
