The Seven Sleepers Dry Red Blend is a fruit-driven wine that is dominated by the berry fruit character of Petit Verdot on the nose. A layer of chocolate is gained from the addition of Shiraz. The sweetness of Malbec is apparent on the palate. This wine is not over-powered by oak, allowing the fruits to show their full potential. Firm tannins give the wine a lingering finish. A rich combination of flavors is ideally suited to current consumption, but the wine will also improve with further careful cellaring.
