Hailing from California, this red blend comes from vineyards that benefit from the region’s warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters—conditions that promote full ripening while preserving refreshing acidity. The blend is composed of 52% Petite Sirah, 31% Teroldego, and 17% Malbec. It is aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels, which adds depth and structure to the wine.
On the nose it offers aromas of boysenberry, ripe plum, and vibrant red currant. As you sip, darker notes like anise and tobacco leaf emerge, along with decadent flavors of dark chocolate-covered blueberries. The oak aging contributes nuance and richness without overpowering the fruit. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty fare—think grilled meats, richly spiced dishes, aged cheeses, or even a dark chocolate dessert to echo its chocolate-blueberry backbone.
