7% Syrah, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 3% Sangiovese and 2% Viognier. Purple in color. The nose is nice with black raspberries, some black pepper, spice and slight floral notes. On the palate, this has some depth with a nice varietal complexity. Good mouth feel. Works well with or without food. I don't know if this improves but should last a decade or so. It is basically, the "leftovers" for the Jonata single varietal wines. That doesn't mean it is not excellent in its own right. A nice alternative to their expensive bottlings.
