Top Notes For
Insane fruit forward Jamminess, but super tight until about an hour in. Let it sit, and it's a treat for an aged marbled steak. Delicious for the price at Whole Foods $19.99

Jun 13th, 2016For the price this is an amazing wine. We had this with the filet at hitching post and the pairing was excellent. Complex structure with a smooth finish.
