Description

“Expressive and detailed, with multilayered red currant and cherry flavors taking on rose petal, dusty sage and black tea accents that build tension toward medium-grained tannins. Merlot, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2035. 7,000 cases made.” – 94 points, Wine Spectator

‘Bright, fresh and focused, with red berries, blackberries, spices, crushed stones and an earthy undertone on the nose. The palate is mid-weighted with fine-boned tannins and a juicy yet dry finish.” – 94 points, James Suckling

Winemaker Tony Biagi honors founder Jeff Smith with this very delicious blend of Merlot (41%), Petite Sirah (38%), Cabernet Sauvignon (6%), and “other reds”.  Aged 16 months in new and used (“seasoned”) French oak.
