An unusual blend that works well thanks to savory Syrah character that gets an elegant fruit boost from Petite Verdot. It starts out with a rustic vibe, but it turns refined mid palate and remains so through the nicely spiced finish. This has Santa Maria style Tri-Tip written all over it! Contains 57% Syrah, 33% Petit Verdot and 10% Malbec.
