Uses all 13 allowable varietals, and it showed in the complex flavors of the wine. With its heady bouquet of fresh violets, I could have just sniffed this wine all night (OK, not true, it needed to be drunk too). I generally use some type of fruit to describe a wine from California; a Rhone red like this requires a broader vocabulary. I tasted a bit of leather and bark, along with a dark blackberry flavor. This wine got better as it breathed, opening up with more fruitiness.
