Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
On the nose, cherries, strawberries, light wood, earth, spices, herbs, light vegetables and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with black cherries, plums, black currants, coffee, oak, cloves, earth, vegetables, tobacco, graphite, spices and dark chocolates.
Medium length on the finish with fine tannins, chili powder and tangy cranberries.
This is a very interesting red wine from the Sierra Foothills in California. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
Red fruits on the nose and black fruits on the palate. Nice and engaging, tangy and spicy.
Needs time to open up properly. I decanted it for 45 minutes. Easy to drink, so watch out for the high alcohol.
Could use a few more years in the bottle to mature, and bring out more complexity.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.
A blend of 48% Tempranillo, 39% Sangiovese and 13% Barbera. Only 725 cases made.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$50.
