Dark berry fruit and slight spice. Nicely balanced, smooth and lingering finish. Tasty!

Rich and smooth. Not super memorable/unique but well balanced and delicious. Good by itself.

Contrary to Delectable description, the 2012 Pinnacle is a Cab Franc /Merlot 50/50 blend. Enjoyed with NY steaks and sautéed rainbow chard. Our vintage could use a bit more time, but it has a very soft, silky mouthfeel. Very balanced, nuanced blend.

Not a Tempranillo! 50 Cab 50 Merlot. Easy to drink.
