Stewed blackberry and black plum fruit meets with leather, black pepper and shiitake mushroom aromas on the nose of this blend of 45% Petite Sirah, 33% Syrah, 12% Mourvèdre and 10% Grenache. It's savory on the palate, with dried herb and roast beef flavors set against a backdrop of black fruit. The acidity is searing toward the finish.
