This Petit Verdot, Syrah and Petite Sirah blend has absolutely delicious flavors, stunning in fact. Blackberry jam, blueberries, cassis, chocolate, coffee, toasty oak, spices, the list goes on and on. Plus, it’s dry. The only critique is that it’s overly soft, in the manner of Paso Robles. ——S.H.(12/31/2005)—— 87
