The 2021 Alec's Blend is mostly Syrah (there's some Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Franc) and its deep purple hue is followed by a gorgeous perfume of blackberries, blueberries, camphor, ground pepper, and hints of bacon fat. It's full-bodied and has remarkable purity, fine tannins, and a great finish. Drink this incredibly sexy, hedonistic beauty over the coming decade.

The 2021 Alec's Blend is 79% Syrah, 15% Merlot, 3% Petite Sirah and 3% Cabernet Franc. Black cherries and blueberries feature a dusting of clove and cinnamon in this full-bodied, concentrated and richly textured wine. It's velvety and soft, immediately drinkable, with a plush finish.
