What a lovely blend this is, with its rich fruit and exotic spices on the nose. On the palate, the lush fruit and spiciness are cushioned by easy tannins. Syrah provides a velvety feel, the Zinfandel delivers bright fruit and the Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure.

The final blend for the ’08 was 79% Syrah, 16% Zinfandel and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

This friendly red is great with “simple foods, like BBQ, hearty pasta and wood-fired pizza. Just 250 cases made.  Drink now or hold 8-10 years.
