The dark ruby-hued 2004 Venge Family Reserve Scouts Honor, a blend of 68% Zinfandel and the rest Petite Sirah and Charbono, reveals a Cotes du Rhone-like, garrigue, peppery, spicy bouquet, zesty acidity, plenty of soul, and loads of berry fruit as well as spice characteristics. It should be consumed over the next 3-4 years. Previously recommended: 2002 Venge Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (97), 2003 Venge Family Reserve Merlot (90).Saddleback Cellars tel.
