This blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Petite Sirah, 2% Syrah and 2% Malbec offers aromas of black-cherry pie, toasty brioche and fresh mint on the nose. That minty element carries to the palate, where more black cherry and fudge flavors are wrapped in ample acidity and chalky tannins. Editors’ Choice. —M.K.
What We Thought: A ripe plummy nose leads to a silky smooth, robust, full-bodied palate of ultra-ripe blackberry and raspberry fruit along with notes of chocolate, vanilla, and a little espresso finishing with silky tannins.
