Always a favorite. This definitely needed air or a decant. Slightly broader than some previous vintages, but once that minerality started to reveal itself, it was party time — 2 days ago

Can from mexico? Lacking the tannins and full body of a typical cab. But very impressive considering geography — 4 days ago
Started as oaked (woody), opened up with chocolate, and cigar. Dissipated by the end of the meal. — 25 days ago
Drinks a little hot this time around and I opened it at the correct temp. Concentrated with ripe tannins and some interesting wet rock nuances in the palate. Quality for the price is definitely there. — 6 months ago

Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah blend. Rhone Rangers ride again. Color is blood, sweat and tears. Aroma of wood oils, berry jelly and warm fresh tilled soil. Flavors are balanced, juicy, crisp and warm. Hint bittersweet on the finish. This is a great central coast of Cali blend. Leans toward the gentle elegance of Grenache, but is complex and cool as polished steel. A great red that’s different yet feels right at home in Rhône.. — 3 days ago
