I was impressed by this balanced blend of 40% each of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 20% Merlot. It has a fresh and floral nose, with plenty of hyacinth, freesia, boysenberry and nutmeg aromas. A lithe and elegant texture escorts boysenberry jam, orange and ginger flavors across the pleasure finish line.
