"Always one of the better priced and satisfying red blends on the market, this vintage's combination of 83% Syrah, 14% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec delivers all the goods, starting with aromas of fudge, coffee and roasted fig on the hearty nose. The palate is smoky, rich and deep with oak-seared berry, grilled meat and cracked pepper flavors." -MK, 11/1/24

"The 2021 Renegade wafts up for the glass with a sweetly seductive blend of wild blueberries, violet flowers and crushed stones. It’s sleek and racy in style with crisp wild berry fruits and tactile mineral tones that swirl under an air of lavender. It finishes with a reverberation of tension, leaving a tinge of cocoa and licorice to slowly fade. The Renegade is a blend of 83% Syrah, 14% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec." -EG, Jun/2024
