Mixed Black

Mixed Black Wine Details
Price:

Description: American oak barrel-aging has lent the 2002 Mixed Black mildly aggressive oak tannins accompanied by subtle toasty-oak nuances. This well-structured wine features a full, round mouthfeel with dark fruit aromas and flavors. The Zinfandel in the blend really pulls the raspberry forward, while the Grenache lends the wine a slight earthiness and pepper character. It's no surprise that the Petite Sirah offers the blend dense, black color and a wonderful layer of soft tannin. This wine will certainly benefit from 1 - 3+ years in the cellar. Blended from 3 Barrels Zinfandel, 2 Barrels Petite Sirah and 1 Barrel Grenache
