Least favorite of the day. Thought one of the two would come out on top or at least assist each other but no.

Nice blend! Dark, rich, sexy! Great with cheese and select smoked meats

We are members at this winery... I know... Idaho is still figuring out how to do wine, but this wine is a bit-o-alright! Every other month we make the drive to the winery to pick up our allocation. While there is no restaurant at the winery, you are allowed to bring a picnic lunch. Sitting inside or outside with a picnic lunch and w a tasting that comes free w membership is delightful! Staff is so pleasant, and the winery has remained open (with restrictions) during this time of Covid . We like the experience, and THAT’s why we are members. We were willing to put up w mediocre wine for the EXPERIENCE. But, hey, this wine definitely surpasses mediocre!

This wine is still really young and started opening up after a few hours. Plenty of red and black fruit with some smoky and meaty undertones. Went well with grilled skirt steak.

Wow, who knew Idaho was making this level of wine?! Red fruit, lots of complexity.

Young Idaho wine with rich fruit undertones. Finishes with strong oaky currents and supple tannins.
