Smells like a juicy fruit bomb with cranberry, and then meat, tomato, and spice on the nose. Mild oak. More dark fruit on palate. Finish medium at best. Acid medium-minus. Not bad.

Mark Herold has balls. His 2011 Collide combines 49% Carignan with 25% Petite Sirah, 15% Tempranillo, and 10% Graciano. It’s kinda like Sushi & Brisket Nachos... I dare you to try pulling it off.

Residual CO2 on day 2... Could be really interesting in the style otherwise.

Celebrating a new partnership with Mark Herold to offer some of his past vintages. The star of the show, imho, is the 2010 Collide, which is among the best value wines in Napa in recent memory. Parker and Galloni each have it at 93 points, though I have it at 94+. Just an elegant wine that is singing right now, but should also last another 5 years too

The nose and aromas were filled with notes of VA which over took the palate. Just okay, might have been better in it's youth. Drank on 1/30/15.
