A new favorite of what CA does greatly...This 'blacks blend' is just perfect. Rich, dark, layered and vibrant. It showed best after a day being opened.

I used to love this wine. What the hell happened? Incredibly astringent and off putting sour note mid palate that corrupts the whole flavor profile. Some ripe dark fruits a la Zinfandel in the front but completely falls apart after.

Very complex wine. Scent is strawberry, juicy ripe cranberry, also get some blueberry/strawberry pie aspect, definitely smells like a desert. smells very hot as well but doesnt taste like a 14.7% wine, lastly a hint of spice, black pepper/cinnamon. Fairly dark wine, but not black. Silly smooth Mouth feel, tastes very different. Tastes sweet, ripe juicy strawberry, cherry, and pomegranate. Very long lasting finish. I love this wine!

Bought at fermentations wine store in Cambria. OK. Not bad but not stellar. A true blend. Zinfandel, Mourvèdre , grenache,Syrah, Cabernet sauvignon, Tempranillo and Viognier. Made in Paso Robles.
