The vibrancy, nerve and tannic strength of Sangiovese and the lush enveloping dark, wild fruits of cooler climate Syrah together in a wine of great complexity. Fermented in small French oak barrels with layers of mocha, chocolate, strawberries, coffee and berries that are generous and concentrated. Stark 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon, South Africa. A rich powerful wine balanced by soft tannins with flavors and aromas of cocoa powder and blackcurrant cassis and a soft, harmonious finish. Robert Sinskey Vineyards 2004 Cabernet Franc, Napa Valley, California. Organically farmed Vandal vineyard in northern Carneros. A fragrance reminiscent of a bramble thicket full of ripe raspberries and blackberries. Rich perfume of sweet fruit and dried aromatic herbs. It’s flavors ally with its aromatics by contributing layers of complexity with hints of sweet spice, licorice, pepper and cocoa. Assertive ripe tannins.

Ripe and peppery, with a smoky edge to the generous cherry, plum and licorice flavors, lingering effectively on the round finish. Medium-full to full-bodied, a generous mid-palate with youthful tannins, ample, but nicely integrated oak and lively acidity. Michael Shaps 2005 Petit Verdot, Monticello, Virginia. Blackberry, cherry, clove and a hint of pepper. Stylish, well-polished with plenty of fruit to give it balance and structure. Mellow with a long, silky finish.
