This wine is made from Mendocino Merlot. Has nothing to do with Lake County. Stunning, rich coffee and dark chocolate flavors that are interwoven with the delicious wine characters and brought to life with the addition of Jalapeños. — 8 years ago

Full disclosure, I make this wine. After 3 years of trials and a year in the market, I'm still consistently amazed by how well the flavors of the peppers and sauv blanc mesh. Food pairings are endless. Mexican dishes, spicy food in general. FYI, the Feds will not let us put varietal (it is all sauv blanc) or vintage on the label so look for the bottling date on back label to determine freshness. — 8 years ago

May be power of suggestion but had hints of licorice. Rich and round. Great with my lamb shank — 9 years ago
