Winemaker Bob Betz, MW, has crafted a lovely blend here. Aged in 30% new French oak, this is a blend of Syrah with Bordeaux varietals strongly at play here (Merlot, Petite Verdot and Cab). This wine begins with aromas of blueberry, anise, and mocha. Flavors of mocha, anise, red cherry, with cedar persist. You can taste the warmth of the vintage. A solid and forward effort here.
