Smith & Hook Proprietary Red Blend 2017

This blend of Merlot, Petite Sirah, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon is a satisfying sipper for a fair price. Aromas of black cherry, dark cocoa, leather and charred beef lead into a creamy palate of espresso and roasted meat, bolstered by a cranberry sauce flavor and chalky tannins.

Aromas of ripe blackberry and black cherry, balanced with notes of cocoa bean, vanilla and nuanced toasted oak. The refined yet plush palate with flavors of bramble berries, dark fruit, and dried cherry with silky layers of tannins and a hint of slate on the finish.

48% Merlot, 37% Petite Sirah, 9% Malbec, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc and Zinfandel. 91/00 Wine Enthusiast
