Wine Review: This opaque and very dark purple colored Napa blend is unique and interesting. It opens with an oak and blueberry bouquet with hints of black cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and smooth. The flavor profile is cedar plank infused blueberry with notes of black plum and a hint of black pepper. The finish is dry and its fruit flavors linger for a while after the wine is gone. This wine would be a perfect match for veal marsala. Finally, I really liked the cool label and packaging. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: With its blue hues and pronounced blueberry aromas, this distinct blend (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Syrah, 10% Merlot) is a study in blue. Bordeaux varieties provide the framework, while Syrah transports the blend to a realm all its own. It’s simply, Kind of Blue.
