Winemaker Jeff Cichocki blends Cabernet Sauvignon with Petite Sirah and small amounts of Malbec to add richness, texture, color, and spice to the wine. The brilliant, deep garnet red color with violet hues shines in the glass. Black cherry and black currant fruits fill the mouth with subtle notes of leather, tobacco and pencil shaving following. A generous, rich mouthfeel is surrounding the medium-bodied wine with structure and layers of ripe tannins.
