A vibrant blend of Merlot (43%), Zinfandel (15%), Sangiovese (13%), Cabernet Sauvignon (12%), Syrah (9%), Petit Verdot (3%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Malbec (2%), Silhouette is a densely layered wine that speaks with passion and strength. Aromas of cocoa, ripe berries, cassis and blueberries burst from the glass. Vanilla and bright fruit enliven the palate while soft tannins and a lively acidity provide structure and make this a balanced, food friendly wine.
