Pretty tasty. Nice floral notes, bright red fruit, clean acidity.

Better than expected , had a nice savory quality to it. Starting to show signs of dried fruits.

Basic California red. Nice fruit, aroma and color, with acids and light tannins complementing each other, but frankly I was expecting more. Simple but too simple. Doesn’t remind me of the Rhone, doesn’t impress me as a Central Coast beauty, doesn’t impress—period. Had the 2018 vintage with homemade beef stew.
