This is a well balanced red blend from the Santa Barbara region . Visit the website for the story behind the wine . Profit sharing for the workers and training the workers throughout the winemaking process keeps everyone vested in providing a quality product . This wine is purple and ruby in color with a very fruit forward taste . Lots of Cherry with very slight hints of minerals . — 2 months ago
