In a word: QPR. OK that's three words but that's what immediately comes to mind when I drink this. Nose: blueberries, baking spice, and pie crust. Palate is red and black berry bramble with an oaky medium bodied finish. Tannins already smoothing out- should be even better in a year or two. $40 online. Competes with wines 50+% higher.

Sourced mainly from Alexander Valley fruit, this blend is balanced and a bit lighter bodied. Red fruit character predominates. At $40 this is a bargain relative to many of its Napa and Sonoma peers.

Rated a while ago with consistent notes. Needs air and improved with time. Not extravagant, and finishes with a touch of sweetness.

The verdict? GUILTY. Kind of like the raccoons in that Geico commercial. Burnt hair and mango chutney? I can't get the $&@!-out-of-my-mouth. I would've ranked this over-oaked-dill-bomb lower if the scale would've allowed.
