Violet color with appealing mixed black and blue fruit, dried herb, vanilla, chocolate, and spice aromas. On the palate it's full-bodied, and concentrated with an oh-so supple texture and good acidity. It shows baked blueberry, blackberry, vanilla, chocolate, and cardamom flavor and a lingering finish. Approachable now, but would benefit from further aging. Delicious blend of 41% Mourvedre, 19% Grenache, 19% Syrah, 19% Carignane, 2% Petite Sirah — 10 years ago

This is the only Carignane-based wine in the Napa Valley AVA. 67% Carignane and 33% Petite Sirah from Al Frediani's classic vineyard in Calistoga. Last time I tried this it was a little more savory, but this bottle was showing a bit more of the warm vintage with bigger dark fruit. There was still a gorgeous underlayer of savory herbs, but it didn't distract from the beautiful fruit. The Archive is the 2nd label of Relic Wines by winemaker Mike Hirby. He's one of the most consistently great winemakers in the US. — 11 years ago
