Everything this producer makes is joyous! Basket of blackberries & blueberries, cracked branches. Vibrant acidity & plush tannins. More, please!

Raspberry jam. Pencil shavings. Not too tannic right out of the bottle. A millimeter sweeter than ideal. Could drink it all day.

Delicious bottle of wine, especially at this price. Great easily approachable black and dark red fruit, but with enough tannin and structure to keep it interesting. From The Wine Merchant at SF Ferry Building
