Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits and pronounced earthy spice. On the palate plum and blackberry flavors with pepper and herb spice, lively acidity. Big firm tannins on medium finish ending with toasty oak and earthy character. Drink now, tried twice, second time was better.

Dark purple, earthy and brambly…chalky tannins…reasonably balanced acid/tannin relationship. Reminds on southern Rhône. Very good.

This central coast blend is surprisingly rich and flavorful with an Oakey complexity. Bright plum and cherry flavors dominate. Mix of Merlot, Malbec, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet grapes.
