Nailed it with a steak sandwich pairing. Boo-yah. โ 4 years ago
Wow! Even better than a few months ago. Olives, blueberries, game, forest, pepper, plums. Itโs interesting having this a few days after storm Syrah. Very similar. Love that there are more of these us syrahs with good fruit but balance. Central coast style. โ 7 months ago
Nose: elegant pineapple. White flowers.
Palate: big acid hit. Elegant yellow fruit. Delicious. Peach.
Long juicy finish. โ a year ago

Faint hint of brett, rustic but still fruity, pizza friendly GSM, with nice tannin once a bit aerated. Quite enjoyable. โ 5 years ago
First tasting. About as good as it gets with steak dinner. Silky smooth. Zero after taste. Heavy Smokey on the nose. 2018 vintage. The 1% petit verdot gives it amazing shape. Deep purple color. โ 9 months ago
Tall and straight heavy bottle. Looks kinda cool. CA wine style. 14.0% abv. No specifics on the blend. They say it arose from the wrong hose in the wrong tank ;-). Color is ruby red with a translucent shimmer. Smells like some other red wines in that itโs fruit and the smell of old places. (Like attics, cellars and libraries full of old books). Hint of savor. Like fresh steak or lamb. Flavors are excellent. Supple and fairly elegant. Thereโs a cherry streak, a black licorice streak, and brightness. Itโs pretty Italian styled. Iโd suggest there might be some Sangiovese and/or Barbera in it. And these are excellent CA Foothill grapes, so no surprise at its finesse and grace. This is a nice El Dorado red. Iโd love to try the rest of their portfolio.
Website says, โโฆitโs a 4 way blend of Zinfandel, Grenache, Merlot and Mourvedre that will make your Tuesday night glass of wine Exciting Again.โ โ a year ago

Killer domestic value from the Gabilan Mountains of Monterey. Mostly Mourvรจdre with Grenache and Syrah. Needs time to open up and unwind. Raspberry coulis, wild strawberry, black and white pepper, and an earthy streak of something feral. Whole cluster fermented in concrete and neutral barrel. Bright, but structure and weight are added with air. Organic. โ 4 days ago
