violet red to the eye, this wine is a blend of 55% syrah, 35% cabernet sauvignon and 10% merlot. a nose of black cherry and violet prepares the palate for flavors of cassis, cherry conserves, orange zest, licorice and tobacco. fruit and spice flavors keep each other in check amid velvety tannins. the smooth cherry finish is highlighted by touches of orange zest.
