2019 vintage. A nice blend. Dry and dark enough for my taste with a complex and interesting palette

Dry, earthy, dark fruit. Good woodsy foresty nose. Complex. Really good value.

Dark purple color, velvety smooth, plum, blackberry, toasty. Great price point at ~$24. Easy drinker without food. We’ll see how it goes with some NY pizza shortly. Great label!

Very drinkable. Well rounded. Great with lots of food types. Smooth. Flavorful but not overpowering.

Better with food, and takes some time to open. Somewhere between a one trick pony and a wine with layers. So, it’s got a little going on.

An exceptional Petite Verdot-based red blend that was brought in by a wine representative.
