I liked this wine but that being said thought there was way too much whole cluster fermentation here - that said nice berry fruit - not a lot of structure or a lot to out its varietal composition

Not my style of wine. Sweet berry nose that I associate with Paso Robles, tobacco right off the bat with good acidity, firm tannins and very California Deep berry/plum fruit with slight smokiness.

Solid Rhone Style Grenache blend. Drinking it on the porch on a rainy Sunday afternoon and feeling really good. Integrates nicely. Lynyrd Skynyrd helps.

Had this wine over a year ago at the winery itself and picked up this bottle out of fondness for the time spent there. Worth it.
Nose of ash and tobacco with a tart boysenberry tinge to it. The palate is big and juicy, with that tobacco note providing some nice balance. This is a wine you want to drink and drink, just dry enough and with just enough acid you can taste it for a minute afterwards.

2011 vintage. Very ripe blackberry and bramble fruits with just a touch of garigue and brush terroir notes - this wine tastes very "old world" and is a fantastic value. There is a bit of oak here, but only enough to keep everything else balanced.
