A blend of what? Who cares, it's Hammel Wine Alliance. Peasanty, berry berry, tobacco and rock. Not "classic" or "great" - but I'd serve it to anyone, and drink it any night. Fun, and brings a smile to your face. 9.2

Pep'ar, blueberry, orange peel, tobacco, dark as night, silky smooth texture. Gave this gem a two hour decant. Love the passion and focus on excellence that Chris and Dayna are delivering here. To quote a soon to be famous vineron, this is bad-ass-and-legit. Congrats and well done.
