description: In the blend are small portions of 6% Syrah, 3% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc—winemaker Mike Wade is a meticulous blender—and the nuanced character is immediately apparent. Seductive scents mix black cherry, nutmeg and toffee, leading into rich red and black fruits, licorice and smoke. Just a hint of earth and herb highlight the lightly tannic finish.
