This top-tier bottling from Steve Martell, which blends 62% Grenache with 29% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre and 4% Petite Sirah, offers roasted coffee, charred black currant, burnt wood and baked earth aromas. The palate is tight and bright with flashy boysenberry and black raspberry flavors balanced by anise and sagebrush accents.
