This plump and silky wine is a blend of 47% Syrah, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Merlot. Opaque ruby and freshly acidic, it is packed with dark bramble fruits, smoky bacon, anise and dry earth. The tannins are plentiful but luxuriously textured and the alcohol lurks quietly in the background (despite tipping the scales at 15%). Dense and rich on the mid-palate and closing medium-to-long, this is a structured offering that is already drinking well. It should hold up nicely for several more years. Drink now-2025.
