The 2002 Avenger is a killer wine. A blend of 40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and 30% Mourvedre from the Rozet and James Berry vineyards, it boasts a dense ruby/purple-tinged color as well as terrific aromas of espresso roast, blackberry liqueur, cassis, forest floor, and white chocolate. Full-bodied and rich, with vibrant, well-focused, long flavors that inundate the palate, this beauty can be drunk now and over the next 5-7 years. Tel. (805) 238-3000
