Mordecai Banshee—similar blends?

Hello!

Definitely not a wine expert so I figured I’d check in with you guys. I recently discovered the Mordecai Banshee wine and loved it. Then realized it’s extremely difficult to find. Are there any other similar red blends?

For reference, this is the makeup: 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Zinfandel, 15% Tannat, 14% Malbec, 10% Petite Sirah, 9% Merlot, 5% Carignan, 4% Syrah, 3% Grenache

It’s described as this (which doesn’t mean a lot to me): Production Notes Aging for 14 months in French oak – new oak on all varietals except the Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Sirah, both of which saw about 40% new oak. Winemaker Notes An enticing nose of pepper, violets, cigar and cassis. On the palate it is a mouthwatering mélange of red berry and plum flavors backed by earthy tones of herb roasted meat and fresh black trumpet giving way to a spiceladen finish

Thanks in advance!
