This multi-regional blend (64% Sonoma County, 27% Monterey County and 9% San Benito County) from a Sonoma-based winery finds a remarkable balance, despite its varied vineyard sources. Cassis, sandalwood and cherry liqueur aromas lead to a rich, juicy palate of ripe black cherry fruit, with layers of sarsaparilla, cocoa, cola and black truffle.
