Dark plum, cherry, chocolate cake, star anise and leather show on the nose of this blend of 71% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Petite Sirah. There is a strong structure that grabs hold of the palate and won't let go, showing that the tannins need a bit more time to resolve. That will allow the piquant flavors of dark red fruit and licorice to emerge. Matt Kettmann

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
