Exceptionally dry and lovely for those who want an affordable, well-crafted wine with body, balance, and that lingering dry finish.

Never been let down by one of Jerry’s wines yet. Great Boudreaux blend, nice licorice nose.

Deep purple in color, this aromatic, concentrated Bordeaux style blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot & 13% Petit Verdot aged 20 months in 75% new French oak. Opens up nicely just a few minutes out of the bottle.

Silky smooth, everything I like about cab and Malbec in one place, though not as dusty usually go for.

Unfortunately this one was corked. First Guardian Cellars wine I've had that was corked.

Nose shows ample oak/spicy aromatics w/some Franc floral notes. Rich & full bodied. Shows dark fruit & some espresso. Red Mountain vineyard mix, so plenty of youthful tannins to bring some grip. Solid BDX blend 54% Cab 31% Merlot 15% Cab Franc.
