Description:
Petite Sirah 54% - Zinfandel 43% - Mourvèdre 3% Three unique varietals combine lush berry and fierce spice into a full-bodied wine. Intensely fruit forward on the entry, this deep ruby apparition begins with aromas of blueberries, violets and chocolate-covered cherries, dusted with touches of black pepper. From the deep dark depths, subtle notes of spice, clove and mocha emerge and compliment the concentrated fruit characters of this wine. Aging for two years in 1, 2 and 3 year-old American oak barrels has yielded a vexing array of toasty oak aromas to Phantom. Though this wine is remarkable now, age in the bottle will only integrate the three distinct varietals more.

Tasting Notes

  • Notes:
    This is another wine that excels when given a little air. A few hours will do it. The taste is of a deep rich toasted oak and cherry flavor. Really delicious. I'm going to buy a few more bottles and put them away for a few years.
