A bottle I had wished well but always ended up in the shuffle and without a pull of the cork. At last it’s number was called on a long weekend of winter camping in the NorCal woods. Gifted from the winery on a visit at time of release, this bottle benefited from bottle age. Lots to say. Ever-evolving and transformative both in flavor, depth, and especially weight. The wine built mass and darkness with time. Performs well beyond its category and worthy of a revisit or more vintages.

I always enjoy this wine. Deep ruby colored, full bodied, and indulgent. Not shy on the oak, but it works. Sage, smoke, black and blue fruit all translate nicely to the palate with sturdy structure. This overdelivers consistently for under $25.
