Wow. Like sinking into a plush velvet couch. Full bodied, dark cherry, dark tones (is that leather?) Smooth and complex.

Terrific 2015 at less than $60. Wow, “There is also a deep mineral component here-notes of crushed gravel and potting soil-that offers a counterpoint to the abundant fruit.” - Ian Cauble, Master Sommelier SommSelect

Feb 21st, 2021If I hadn’t met winemaker at Mustards in June I never would’ve known, but this is a great wine for the price point. Go find some and try. Deep and rich. Went well with ribs and chicken bbq.

Sep 8th, 2020Was fortunate enough to meet winemaker at Mustards Grill a month ago and she let me try this wine - same vintage I think. And now this has become one of my favorite wines under $60. If you can find it, buy it. Serve it to your friends who expect you to serve them Realm, Patria or Bond, etc.

Good fruit concentration and you can sense the oak use, but in a good way as it all blends together very well. Smooth tannins and really nice freshness that comes with some acidity and minerality too. Hats off!

2014 - Fruit forward nose and palate with slightly dusty and tannic finish; great with pizza; a real value at $32 plus shipping.

Actually really good. On the bolder side, smooth start. Blackberry and berry undertones. Maybe blueberry. Good length and thinking through the middle. I’d say medium minerals and solid finish. 2014 was really good. $75, but a steal if you can find lower than that.
