Smoky blackberries, coffee, charred wood and black bean puree. A little ostentatious with sweet fruit and some chewy tannins on the full-bodied palate. Long, spicy finish to close. 72% cabernet sauvignon, 12% syrah, 8% cabernet franc, 7% petite sirah and 1% petit verdot. 60% of the fruit comes from Sonoma County and 40% from Napa County. A flattering Californian red for those who look for richness and heavy flavors.
