Hyper-floral nose with Grenache-y fruit and a nicely textured palate. A salty hint of gianduja looms underneath it all.

Bright notes of strawberry hard candy lead into a wine that gains weight and intensity with air. Overall a much more elegant version of this wine, will be interesting to see this one develop over time. Vino Sapien wine- Santa Barbara county

The 2012. Nice notes of cherry with hints of spice and pepper that turned tart on the mouth. Not as big and rich as other vintages.

Delectable, this is not from NY but from the Santa Barbara area.
