Dark ruby red. Blackberries, pepper, bacon fat, mushrooms with a hint of black licorice and green vegetables. Medium body, alcohol, acid and smooth, velvet tannins. Same flavor on the palate as on the nose. Medium plus finish. Very balanced with medium plus finish.

Mar 10th, 2024Very stereotypical Cali Red to me with big “sweet” fruit. Okay and rich. Needed to be a bit fresher (i. e. More acid) to my palate. Would be a good restaurant wine I think.
