"A blend of Syrah, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the deep purple-black colored 2016 Proprietary Red Jillian's Blend has a baked blackberries, spice cake, tobacco and new leather-scented nose with menthol and grilled meats hints. Medium to full-bodied, it is juicy in the mouth with rounded tannins and a peppery kick to the finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown"
