An interesting blend of 44% Grenache, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah and 10% Petite Sirah, the 2010 Audacious is a rich, voluptuously textured effort that’s loaded with fruit, chocolate, big minerality and toasted spice as well a full-bodied richness and a surprisingly approachable, silky palate. Showing more and more Grenache character as it sat in the glass, this beautifully made blend has juicy acidity, sweet tannin and should drink nicely for 4-5 years, possibly longer. Drink now- 2018.

Appropriately rugged around the edges, with chewy, gripping tannins. Offers a rich core of dark berry, mocha, espresso and cedar flavors, holding focus through the long finish. Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petite Sirah. Best from 2014 through 2024. 369 cases made.

Inky ruby. Highly aromatic scents of blackberry, cherry-cola, pipe tobacco and potpourri. Supple, gently sweet and seamless, offering dark berry and bitter cherry flavors and a hint of candied rose. Closes on a floral note, with strong punch and lingering spiciness.
