Our good friend joe Carr is with us. Wonderfully ripe yet supple and silky in the mouth. Touches of cinnamon in the nose. Great wine!!

Please don't make me drink this. It has Petite Sirah and I don't like that grape. #sludge

2010 Dylan's Ghost Stag's Leap Vineyard "Beast Blend" by Aaron Pott. Intense black fruits, cocoa and spice with good underlying terroir notes from the franc. Cozy wine for a cool night with steak and chocolate. Signed and gifted by owner Joe Carr. Thanks Joe!

Good. Typical Cali blend. The cab franc gives a little more character.
