I really like this because it just goes to show Randy's flexibility and desire to experiment. True #bordeauxblend style with the #freshness of the #santacruz there are notes that remind me of #loire

Black fruits, vegetal, pepper, sweet spice. Medium+ body and tannin. Medium acidity and finish. Pretty tasty for the price. A simple wine for every day drinking.

Black fruits. Cedar. The fruit expresses itself in a new world style; it is not overblown, though. A peppery / savory finish and nice balance. Good value at $15. I would buy again.

Bold claret!! This needs to breathe for at least 40 minutes, the more it breathes the more flavors it will show. Good wine after a long day at the office.
