Cork

This emblematic Ballard Canyon blend of predominantly Syrah with touches of Petit Verdot and Viognier is both rich and juicy, brimming with deep purple fruit. Each sip envelops the palate in a velvety smooth embrace of fruit cocoa and spice. Dark cherry, cassis, and blueberry dominate the profile. At the same time, notes of sticky-sweet tobacco, dusted coffee, cocoa powder, and mentholated herbal qualities balance a warm finish of cracked peppercorn. The seamless tannin structure and medium-plus acidity elevate the wine's robust flavour. Over time, this wine may evolve into something much more evocative of its name: sanguine, earth-toned and savoury, but I quite like the fresh fruit quality complementing its otherwise dark, intense nature.
