I was pleasantly surprised by this wine. I bought it a year ago and it sat in my wine fridge as the summer months passed. Since it was closer to the bargain end I wasn't hopeful it would taste the way it was meant to be enjoyed. It had a full body with a smooth finish. Perfect pairing with a good medium-steak. I have been told that Sonoma County is a hidden gem among the California wine country. This bottle has me wanting to keep exploring.
