Strong spicy, meaty aromas and equally assertive oak and char flavors threaten to overwhelm the fruity aspects of this dry wine, but it has enough concentrated blackberry and blueberry stuffing to match the firm tannins. Best after 2020.

A blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre, Malbec and Petite Sirah from Brassfield's Volcano Ridge Vineyard, this intensely bold wine has an herbal streak and generous layers of blueberry and leathery, mountain-tight tannin. On the finish expect tar and espresso.
