I'm probably partial because he's my neighbor but anyway the glass is full of spicy artisan black licorice and fruit leather made with black currants and just a touch of bell pepper on the nose that triggers a mouth watering effect for me.
First taste is very earthy, to the point that you would think that there's got to be dirt on your teeth. It's thankfully lighter than most 'Cali cabs' but it is grown in a high (300m) area of the Santa Cruz Mountains and blended with an intelligent mix of merlot (17%) and cab franc (4%). And only 13% abv.
I think it's about $45 or $50 retail which is a steal.
