Just okay. Light bodied Sangio blend. Put on weight with air. I drank with my brother who is a big Tool fan, so he really dug it. The more I think about it I think it is cool too.

Says @Jon Bonné:
Rebel cred is easy here: Caduceus' @MJ Keenan is known to anyone who survived the '90s as the lead singer of Tool. But his work in the mountains of Arizona is equally rad -- planting vineyards and experimenting with a panoply of grapes. Winemaking might be Keenan's favorite creative outlet, and his wines would be considered offbeat even in California. To make them in the desert Southwest is nothing short of radical.
The Nagual de la Naga is Keenan's take on a Super Tuscan -- part Sangiovese, part Cabernet, and often the most nuanced of his wines. That balsam note of Sangiovese stands forward, although there's ample oak and ripe, lavish fruit, too. It seems downright fashionable, until you remember its origins: Graham County, due east of Phoenix and far afield even from many Arizona vineyards.
