WINEMAKERS NOTES
This blend of Merlot, Syrah and Petite Sirah has aromas of wild cherry,
plum, vanilla, wild berry and black currant jam. It enters the palate with
juicy flavors of cranberry, pomegranate and black cherry, while the finish is
long and soft.
2010 VINTAGE
The 2010 vintage will be remembered for its long, cool growing season and the
absence of excessive heat events, which allowed for ripe flavors to develop on the
vine without excessive sugar accumulation. The result is an elegant balance of fruit
flavors and acidity with lower alcohol.
FOOD PAIRING
Grilled meats, such as flank steak, or a hamburger with blue cheese. Grilled salmon.
Roasted or grilled mushrooms, onions and peppers. Cured meats and aged cheeses
like a gouda or dry jack.
