Corvus Cellars’ 2008 SPS Rhone Blend is composed of 71% Syrah and 29% Petite Sirah. Aromas of smoke, pepper, lavender, black cherry, and blueberry are followed by a dense, structured wine with concentrated flavors and a big mouth-feel. It has several years of aging potential and is likely to develop additional complexity in the bottle. Drink this powerful effort from 2013 to 2020+. Tel. (509) 241-0318; www.corvuscellars.com
