Nick Tomassi

A red blend with 32% Zinfandel, 28% Syrah, 25 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and 4% Petite Sirah. It has a dark ruby color. Excellent aromas of blackberry and spice with hints of raspberry and black cherry and flavors of black fruit, cocoa and espresso. This is a medium body wine with ripe fruit that continues to a long finish.
