The 2021 Fermin is a blend of 58% Syrah, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 17% Petite Sirah. Deep garnet-purple colored, it erupts from the glass with powerful notes of plum preserves and blueberry pie, giving way to hints of sandalwood, unsmoked cigars, and tilled soil. The full-bodied palate delivers firm, grainy tannins and a lively line to support the generous, mineral-laced black fruit preserves flavors, finishing long and earthy.
