"Russell From masterfully captures the unctuous ripeness of Paso Robles while retaining enough structure to keep the resulting wine balanced. This heavy duty blend of 32% Tempranillo, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Petit Verdot and 19% Syrah is thick and inky in the glass, with transcendent aromas of blueberry syrup, cappuccino and smoked meat that drill deep into the cortex. A firm structure and steady acidity present flavors of black currant and charcoal."

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.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
A deeply colored, tannic Bordeaux blending grape adding color, structure and floral, spicy complexity in small proportions.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
Spain's noble red grape, producing structured, savory wines of red fruit and leather that respond beautifully to oak aging in Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
