"The stunning 2012 Weill Away Mixed Blacks was formerly known as the Shanel Vineyard, which some readers may remember as a source utilized by David Ramey. Now planted with Zinfandel, Grenache, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouchet and Mourvedre, and probably a few other mystery grapes, everything is harvested and co-fermented together. The result is a terrific old style California wine with lots of peppery, berry notes intermixed with hints of Provencal herbs, underbrush and extravagant quantities of sweet kirsch, black currants and incense. This incredibly sexy red reminded me of a top-flight Southern Rhone despite the blend. Full-bodied and silky textured, this [is a] beauty . . ."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
California's heritage red, producing bold, brambly, high-alcohol wines of jammy dark fruit and spice, often from old vines.
