Deep Ruby with aromas of fresh blue and black fruits, spice and sweet oak, aged for about 12 months in oak. On the palate flavors of blueberry and blackberry with herb leaf spice and smoky notes. Fine rustic tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, herbs, licorice and sweet spice.

Holy fruit bomb! Very juicy. Not an every day easy drinker but certainly unique and a fun change of pace from more tannic reds

Interesting. Captivating initial taste. Nicely different from CA wines. Wish we could buy more.

Holy fruit bombs Batman! But oh so smooth and velvety. Medium bodied with lush dark berry fruit. NOT SWEET. Fruit transitions into flint/slate minerality towards the finish. Great summer afternoon sipper. Would crush (wine pun intended) with a rack of sticky icky BBQ ribs, but soft enough to compliment grilled chicken.
