A gem from the hit or miss Temecula area, one of my everyday go-to wines. Earthy with dark fruit, tobacco and black pepper on the nose, but continues to evolve after opening - must enjoy over a couple of hours to appreciate how it opens up. A big, bold red, complex, black currant for days with just enough fruit (boysenberries, blackberries) that don't overpower like many Temecula wines. Can drink now or lay down. 86% Syrah, 9% Petit Verdot, 5% Petit Syrah. — 5 years ago

Cali sunripened berries soften the tartness of Sangio and bake this wine with ripe cherry warmth. Not over the top, but approachable fir the new world palate. A great California take on an Italian classic. Paired perfectly with my pink sauce asparagus over penne with Beyond crumbles. — 5 years ago

Nose: Funky barnyard, raspberry haystacks, chocolate covered raspberries, dark chocolate orange sticks. palate is juicy and cocoa powdered red fruits. Plums, orange candy, raspberries. Raisins, a bit heavy on the jam. Heavy alcohol. Under the Christmas tree wine. — 5 years ago

So I am new to this area by 7 months. Just started exploring the Temecula Valley wine region. I must admit, I kind of had apprehension because I've imbibed on great wine from many great places, so what was I to think about this unknown area? Well my local friend Lisa invited me to come out and do a tasting. As I entered the place, I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance in this tasting room was impeccable. It's safe to say, this is the most attractive tasting room I've ever seen and I've been in the industry for some time. Magda was our hostess and her attention to detail and customer service was nothing but refreshing. I felt like I was in her home and she treated me as such. Now the wine. This blend is fantastic! It had a bright and medium fruit forward attack in the front end and a medium bodied flavor about it. Boysenberry Jam, smoked plum, and Bing cherries on the palette. Mild tannins, and a smooth medium dry finish. Had character in the legs like a Cab but qualities in color like a Pinot Noir. The Barbera in this blend was making its of known throughout the tasting experience. Highly recommend. — 8 years ago

We used to go wine tasting years back with a level 2 Somm who used to describe a highly complex, deeply pungent, earthy wine as Nasty! This was one of the biggest compliments that he would give a wine as he smiled and took another sip. To me, this is that wine - Wow. Bold, bold Temp/Barbera blend. Deep, dark fruit, licorice, sulfur, blueberries and tons of earth that make this nasty in the best sense of the word! — 5 years ago
