Enjoyed the Syrah and Cabernet from Hill Family and when I saw this on Sullivan’s wine list at a reasonable price point (having to stay within expense guidelines!) this jumped out at me. A blend of 7-8 varietals, this came together really well if not a touch hot.

Juicy and jammy with a mellow finish. Mild tannins and some oak. Delicious

Full bodied velvety texture, full of blueberry, black cherry and raspberry flavors. Floral notes on the nose carry through the palate. Natural fruit acidity keeps it balanced whilst dusty, minty herbal notes add complexity.
