This tawny-black Riverland offering has a Port-like bouquet of stewed fruit, mulling spices and smoked meat. Superripe (perhaps overripe) blackberry fruit stars in the mouth, with ancho chile and black pepper flavors in supporting roles. This chewy Petit Verdot is, as the song goes, a bit too “Hot Hot Hot,” but is still an enjoyable drink.

Though it has pleasing light blueberry aromas on the nose, and smoke and black grape flavors on the palate, this Cab-Petit Verdot-Merlot-Shiraz blend has a slightly offputting cream-cheese aroma as well. Mouthfeel is a little zingy, as if this blend has a few Zin genes, too. The finish is medium-long and more oaky than fruity.

This Cab takes a while to open and show some flavor, but when it does, it has subtle buttercream and blackberry aromas and a blackberry, grape jelly and honey palate. It’s smooth, round and easy to drink, with a long, slightly sweet, blackberry-jam finish.

Sweet-smelling oak, reminiscent of marshmallows around the campfire, blends nicely with cassis and black-cherry flavors. Finishes tart, with dried spice, cocoa and coffee shadings.
