What an interesting mix of Bordeaux and Rhone varietals. Definitely a unique blend of 5 grapes with Petite Sirah and Syrah comprising over half the volume. Really delicious medium to full bodied with little to no tannic acidity and subtle fruitiness.

The best wine served of the night at the Buena Vista dinner. Gave up nice flavors of red & blue fruits. med-full body. Nice mouth feel. This was our 5 sample tasting so taste buds were somewhat smoked by now.

red and black fruit palate, med/- tannin, full body. has some orange zest to the palate to flesh out a nice level of fruit complexity. Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, 16 months in barrel.

During PNV week, blind tasting at Raymond, this wine is part of the Boisset Collection. Interesting blend of Petitie Syrah (39%), Syrah (29), Cab, Merlot and Mouvedre. Very few at our table pegged this as a new world cab...
Lighter color and body that would be expected with this blend and youth of the wine. Could have passed for a Provencal red or something from Loire...Good structure and red fruits, herbs and floral notes. Black fruits from petitie syrah came through. Unique wine...

This has mellowed into a real nice wine. Not very complex but good overall

Interesting blend, very drinkable.
Ruby color, berry-ish aromas, nice but a little tart on the tongue, rhone-like flavors with a light cab touch. Short sweet finish.
