Grapes from small Paso Robles AVAs blocks, aged in 75% new oak for 18 mos. Dark Ruby, aromas of sweet ripe black fruits & dried smoky tobacco spices. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry, blueberry, sweet cacao, espresso & vanilla oak. A big wine, fine tannins, long fruit finish ending with vanilla overwhelming fruit. 15% ABV has slight burn. — 16 days ago
Absolutely delicious with lots of dark fruit. I bought it because it was from Paso Robles and it does not disappoint! Will definitely buy again. Ava (our 4 year old granddaughter) is spending the night and we’re watching Monster House, so that’s what it’s being paired with! Plus I need a good one when she’s over for the night!!!! — 12 days ago
The wine is very dark, so inky that light does not pass through it. The nose is fresh, riddled with black and blue berries, clove, cinnamon and cedar. On the palate, the rich fruit is out front with a savory backbeat trailing behind. The tannins are firm, while the finish is long and extremely tasty. — 8 days ago

Very much the younger sibling of MFN. Pretty much the same, but a bit less thick and more approachable. The less thick part might have made it better but it lost some length and complexity. what you do get is an extra $20 in your pocket making this hard to beat for the buck. — 7 days ago
