A bit too blown out for us. Will try again tomorrow to see if it holds up well or changes or not. OK so day 2, much more developed herbal flavors and tannins. Upped the rating two points to be fair. Good stuff.

From Trinchero Family Estates, a blend of 60% Cab Sauv and 40% Merlot, dark Ruby with bold dark fruit and floral spice aromas. On the palate, ripe fruits, blackberry and cherry with espresso, cinnamon and tar notes. Dusty tannins, some oak with earthy tones on a medium plus finish. Nice offering, but I think ‘12 was a bit better! The Merlot makes it good to drink now. Tasting Sample.

Big fruit without being over the top or out of balance. If you like a fruit-forward Californian Red Blend, this one provides good QPR for around $30 retail.

This red blend is fantastic. Great deep, dark fruit flavor, with a little licorice and cedar. Needs to sit in the glass for a good 20 minutes to open up.
