14.8% alc.
76% CS, 11% ME, 6.5% PV, 6.5% Malbec.

Good. Not great.
As the winemaking style was a bit different back then I think this probably peaked a few years ago.

(This is a winery to watch - recent changes in winemaking at Sodaro Estate really deserves attention. I just had the privilege to taste through their 2016's from barrel together with new winemaker Leo Tellez. STELLAR!).

Not my favorite wine but really enjoyed the winery visit and especially spectacular views of the Coombsville AVA. Trying my best to be unbiased.

Smooth with great flavor. You can tell the Dyers had their hands in this wine!
