A dramatic, Rhone-inspired blend that brings together the most favorable, classic elements of each varietal in a velvety, luscious wine that is a true pleasure to drink. Complex and structured, it opens with a nose of nutmeg, caramel, vanilla, and velvety fruit. A well-balanced wine, it exhibits flavors that are both fruity and rustic, like mild boysenberry with light notes of leather and smoke. Appealing to a wide array of palates, this wine is fit for any gathering from the most casual to the more formal.
