A spectacular vintage for this blend of 57% Syrah, 33% Petit Verdot, and 10% Malbec: While bold and concentrated, it has a satiny mouthfeel, filled with jammy notes of blackberry and pomegranate. Savory flavors of sweet tobacco and Luxardo cherry join floral tones in lifting the profile into a crescendo of plush pleasure.
