24/15/12/10/9/7/7/6/6/4 blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Carignan, Touriga Nacional, Charbono, Corvina and Barbera. Inky purple red, lots of pigment extraction. Plum, prune, black cherry, black currant, blackberry flavors with lots of seed character and a eucalyptus finish. Despite that, medium seed tannins, not astringent really, just cool black fruit heaven in your mouth.

Dried black fruits and mesquite on the nose. Very powerful and deep palate. Alcohol is a little high but the wine doesn’t finish hot. Really good!

This is a well made wine. Great balance of fruit, acid, alcohol, and oak without being too pushy in any direction. Not my go-to style, but a tasty, balanced blend.

4 loko for wine drinkers. Not necessarily a bad thing. Do not not pop the top waring clothes

Clove, new car leather nose. Preserves on the palate. An interesting offering.

The 2020 Red Fiction, a California kitchen sink blend, offers up plenty of expressive dark fruit qualities along with suave floral topnotes. Juicy and energetic, it shows very good depth. Gentle, rounded tannins frame a long and focused finish that leaves sweet cherry and cassis notes behind. $20.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, April 2022)
