A Bordeaux Style blend from Calluna Vineyards in Sonoma County. Not my favorite offering of theirs, but worthy nonetheless.

I got this bottle too cold before serving so I think that hurt my score.

Needs a while to open up but does so to nice earthy, vanilla and dark cherry. Tried it as a drinking wine and much better suited with food.

Not too sweet, not too dry. Probably perfect with hearty roasted veggies and darker greens.

Savory nose, like cedar smoke and steak. Flavors of blackberry, leather, and dark cocoa. Nice structure, balanced.
