description: This nontraditional blend of 50% Merlot, 25% Petite Sirah and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon works well, with fresh pressed blackberry, crushed graphite and meaty, peppercorn-crusted beef aromas. The rich mouthfeel is soft and full, with baked berry, black plum and dried ginger flavors. The acidity is powerful, almost too much so.
