TASTING NOTE: This blend comprises Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante Bouschet, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Syrah, showcasing just some of the diversity found across California's vineyards. It spent one year in French oak and is bold, floral and vibrant, with brightly arrayed fruit led by strawberry and raspberry with plum and oak spice in support. A versatile food wine that will have a broad appeal. |
