"The 2002 Persistence Proprietary Red Wine (57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 11% Syrah and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) is the biggest and richest of this trio, no doubt because of its Syrah component. Although still tightly knit, it reveals lots of youthful, exuberant blackberry and black currant fruit intermixed with hints of roasted meats, underbrush, unsmoked cigar tobacco, licorice, pepper and spice."
