One of the better of the lower level options but needs more time to age.

Cherry forward and typical of a younger Vincent arroyo but still earthy and opened nice the next day too.

Needs more time in the bottle. Drank really fruity but that’s to be expected from this vineyard and may have had to do with what we drank before. Still a good low priced staple.

Definitely growing on us and becoming more of a go to for this vineyard. Continues to be rich and earthy. A bit dry.

Enjoyed this! Got more and glad we did that. Definitely more drinkable and less cherry and young than others in this vintage.

Better with the aerator. Opened up nicely into a very drinkable earthy wine.

Always a good staple. Opened up more the second night. Interesting how it lost more of its cherry and became more earthy. Maybe try aerating next time.
