Winemaker Notes
The Dark can hold its own against short ribs and lamb but is equally delicious to linger over after dinner, maybe with a chunk of smoky blue.
Blend: 60% Petite Sirah, 40% Petit Verdot

Intense blackberry aromas, along with black pepper and additional blackberry flavors, meet firm tannins on the palate to make this a bold and complex wine. While full bodied, it’s not overwhelming and it lets complex flavors from the concentrated grapes come through. Best Buy.

Cosentino Winery is renowned for creating the first designated and licensed Meritage wine, Bordeaux inspired blend that set the standard that others would follow in Napa Valley.
Cosentino Winery made its first wines with its inaugural vintage released in 1981. In 1989 Cosentino released “The Poet”; one of America’s first designated and licensed Meritage wine. Shortly after in 1990 THE Series was introduced with THE Zin, showcasing the best grapes from the Lodi AVA and paving the way for THE Series of wines. THE Series is now Cosentino's largest volume collection of wine from the Lodi AVA.
Today Cosentino Winery has grown in quality and reputation and continues to gain recognition for innovative winemaking. After over 35 years of winemaking, Cosentino's commitment to the future is still focused on producing quality ultra-premium wines.
