Deliciousness is the goal that wines like this blend from Lucas & Lewellen are aiming for, and this wine hits the mark with a mix of red and black berry fruit, bright acidity, supple texture and a long finish that shows real brightness and a pleasant dill note. “Hidden Asset” contains 34% Malbec, 28% Merlot, 24% Syrah, 11% Petite Sirah and 3% Cabernet Franc.
