Smooth blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah, expertly balanced to create a mellow and polished wine. The measured proportion of each varietal adds richness and nuance to the in summary profile. The olfactory profile is marked by a concentrated and layered arrangement of dense fruit notes, bringing plum, blackberry, and black cherry. The follow through is long and satisfying, with a light sweetness that complements the savory flavors of a classic spaghetti sauce made with ground sirloin. A well-crafted wine that pairs effortlessly with a variety of dishes.

Fine Arizona wine, supported by a hearty Dick's Hideaway meal featuring enchiladas and pork loin.

Voss Experts3.8

Aromas of blackberry, plum and cedar are complemented by nuances of forest floor, leather and flinty oak. The palate is robust and full-bodied, with dark fruits, sweet spices and a touch of vanilla, all wrapped in velvety tannins. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering note of blackcurrant and spice.
