Mind-blowing!
Smokey nose, complimented with strawberry jam. On the palate, this wine displays depth and presence, without being overweight or brash. Lovely dark-fruit profile, enhanced by rugged tannins and bright acidity. Intense and focused. Stunning now, but will further benefit from short-term cellaring. just ordered another 6 pack, it’s that strong. Very cool label, too.

Interesting wine from Pass Robles very highly regarded and for good reason. 70% cab and 30% petit verdot. Inky yet smooth after it opens up.

Totally dig it. Complex yet light on its feet. Already good- I think this will be a drink when young wine. Great stuff.

Bold wine up to the task for steak night. Big red fruits and a bit of old world dust on the finish. Very nice vintage.
