The Fergus is a Grenache-based offering that includes small quantities of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc.
The dark ruby-colored 2001 The Fergus offers scents of mint and jammy black cherries in a pleasant, medium-bodied, forceful but moderately weighty style. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
