Tintin-esque label, 80/20 Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot. What will those oddball winemakers in Monterey County concoct next? In any case, a welcome find at my local supermarket. Dense burgundy red, high pigment extraction. Floral and cherry notes in nose. Cherry, raspberry and blueberry flavors up front, seed tannin and more skin astringency on finish. Thinnish body but definitely not alcoholic which is restrained at 13.5% alc/vol. Slightly peppery flavor emerges after 20 minutes; some underlying phenol character takes longer to resolve. Good fruit forward Cali table red, good value
