One of the emerging wine trends in recent years has been the movement in the direction of eclectic blends. Juxtapoz winemaker John Killebrew seems to have embraced this philosophy, crafted a red wine that brings together Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. The result is a delicious red that is complex and approachable, exhibiting dark-fruited flavors with mouth-watering acidity, supple tannins, an overlay of spice and a finish that lingers. Unusual but delicious and inviting.
