Walldeaux Smithie is bold and juicy with a firm structure and an odd assortment of grapes: 48% Merlot, 25% Zinfandel, 12% Syrah, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% each Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. The full flavors and smooth tannins suggest a new-world wine while its focus and balance, dark fruit and spice flavors are definitely reminiscent of old world Bordeaux.
