A little Chardonnay in your Mark West 'Pinot Noir'... thank Alex Cose

I encountered and tasted both the Mark West 'Pinot Noir' and the Avalon 'Cabernet Sauvignon' but did not realize until today that they shared a common thread with Peter Michael wines, winemaker Alex Cose. It might sound heretical or feel like high treason to some that he blends Chardonnay into the Pinot Noir and Syrah into the Cab.
