Made by Anna Monticelli. Very talented. Mostly cab with 5% syrah. Nice dark fruit. For me, this is a good starter wine. Good fruit profile but lacks complexity of their other cabs. The fruit is what is left of the juice form the single vineyards. Good QPR.

Garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of thistle, currants, plums and smoke. Flavors of plums, currants and berries. Medium acidity, medium to firm tannins, medium to full bodied. Drink now with about an hour of air or hold into the 2-3 year time frame plus or minus.
