john and helen falcone's annual offering of this nonvintage blend of syrah, petite sirah and cabernet sauvignon offers aromas of smoky cedar, cherry liqueur, mint and fresh-ground coffee. it's ripe and inviting right away on the palate, with blackberry extract and black licorice flavors, which benefit from acidity and soft tannins that emerge on the midpalate.
