this nontraditional blend of 50% merlot, 25% petite sirah and 25% cabernet sauvignon works well, with fresh pressed blackberry, crushed graphite and meaty, peppercorn-crusted beef aromas. the rich mouthfeel is soft and full, with baked berry, black plum and dried ginger flavors. the acidity is powerful, almost too much so.
