This version shares more in common with the 7th blend the 8th. Less oak, more vibrant acidity. I still consider this one of the best table reds California has. Morgan Twain Peterson is a badass.

NV. Perhaps I was harsh last time or there was bottle shock. Still a little flabby though.

Ninth cuvée. Perfect everyday match for ribs and burgers. Unpretentious but very well made.
