A surprisingly juicy Livermore Valley red blend dominated by cranberry, teaberry, spice, and ruby grapefruit. Light-textured and succulent with a citrus peel finish. Charming and not too serious. Drink it with pizza, pasta, cheeses, and friends. 31% petite sirah, 29% petit verdot, 27% cabernet sauvignon, 8% malbec, 5% cabernet franc. 13.5% abv | $25 (sample)

Dark ruby red color with dark fruits - blueberry, black cherry, licorice and a bit of brown sugar aromas. Medium-bodied with good acidity, soft tannins. It's fruity on the front palate, and transitions nicely to dry on the back palate. It exhibits generous blueberry, black cherry, cassis, mineral and vanilla flavors.

Fruit bomb! Not that that's a bad thing, but dayum! Points given for being a great hot summer night sipper. Light bodied, with big jammy notes. Lush mouthfeel, short finish. Straight to the point vino!

Red wine blend. Nothing really stood out too me. Tastes more Malbec than anything and it was the grape least used. Could be good with some chocolate dessert

Interesting to try 60% durif and PV as the base. Like a Bordeaux blend minus the durif but it's got all colors of fruit, some lead-type tendencies in the tannin, and some dried herbs. Just a bit unbalanced but an enjoyable wine!
