A hearty but not overdone blend of 73% Petite Sirah, 18% Tannat and 9% Petit Verdot, this well-named wine shows asphalt, black pepper, violet and a sourish blueberry on the nose. Ripe boysenberry fruit pops on the palate, as do lavender and peppercorn. The flavors grow a tad more tart as the sip lingers.
