A gorgeous blend of 36% Merlot, 33% Petite Sirah, 11% Teroldego, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Mixed Blacks, the 2021 HG III has a round, supple, lush, yet weightless style as well as classic black cherry and darker berry fruits, notes of dried herbs, spice, and chocolate, fine, integrated tannins, and a great finish. It's a stunning value, and given that there are about 6,000 cases produced, readers should jump on this.
