A Napa Valley red blend bottled at 14.5% ABV, built around 40% Malbec, 27% Zinfandel, 21% Petite Sirah, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, plus smaller amounts of Mourvèdre, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Mountain-grown Malbec is used to soften and tame powerful valley-floor tannins.
The nose opens with concentrated dark chocolate and ripe plum, then dried florals, subtle spice, cassis and boysenberry. The palate is lush and fleshy with blackberry preserve and blueberry intensity, moderate tannin grip, vanilla and spiced nut accents, sweet tobacco and mesquite. The finish is exceptionally long with cinnamon, currant and dark chocolate.
