Continues to be one of the better sequoia grove reds. Earthy and balanced and it took harsh or tannic.

Really nice heavier wine. Some harshness but mostly smooth and really heads and shoulders above the main label. Time does this a favor.

Very good and getting better with age. Complex and opened well. Will be even better if it’s sits longer. Not as thick and alcoholic as when we first got it.
