NOTE** This label has changed over to central coast sourcing! Had the pleasure of having his wines with him in August last year at the Martin Ray estate. The swap over is due to price of fruit for the quality, and I can't really complain. After being open for 40 min, it balanced out, showing candy sweet raspberry and star anise on the nose. Pallet had a juicy acidity as well as juicy fruit qualities, baking spices to the finish, and over all showing some nice restraint. Good for a crowd pleaser.

Light Ruby with simple red fruit flavors. Blackberry and cherry flavors with lively acidity. On the dry finish some oak comes through. Not very complex, but acidity seems too high. Tasting Sample.

90 for the price to quality ratio.. This is so well-put-together and smooth for $17.. Fresh wildberries, flowers, and a whif of brown sugar. The palate is clean and smooth with more fresh fruit and staying power.. A winner for sure in this price bracket, even this young.

Savory, with dark red dry fruit, musky herbs and fine grained structure. Intensely flavored, yet lean in body. A divisive style for sure.

Smooth and velvety, yet light finish. Cherries and citrus with light oak and spice. Definitely want more!

Nice balance, really enjoyable on its own or with chocolate. First bottle in our new RV.
