The intensity of the color and firmness of the tannins tell the story: This otherwise Bordeaux-style blend from William Hill sports a generous splash (31 percent) of Petite Sirah. That’s OK. The Petite also delivers a shot of gorgeous blueberry and blackberry fruit. This complex blend also includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Verdot and Malbec. It’s spicy and juicy and even offers a hint of mocha on the finish.
