A blend of 55% Syrah and 45% Merlot, the 2007 Variation One reveals smoky bacon notes intermixed with notions of boysenberries, wild flowers, forest floor, pepper, and wood spice. Drink this medium to full-bodied, supple red over the next 6-7 years.
Andy Erickson makes these wines for the well-known auctioneer, classical pianist, and wine personality Fritz Hatton.
