gift wine: not bad, good varietal typicity, not enough intensity & extract for my palate, but well made from a venerable old CA winery

Had the 2021 in April of 2025. Some black cherry and plum but not very tannic. Distinct oak barrel aging flavor to this one. Was an okay wine. Just not sure I would seek it out again. Was a little “dull” and nothing special. But not terrible.

It’s possibly because the local wine distributor is so strict but this is so much better than anything I’ve had in years at this price point.

Nose: Earthy, dusty, hint of coffee.
Fruity. Cherry, cranberry, hint of coffee flavor.
Dark red color. Full body. Smooth tannins.
Very good all around.
$12
