Maybe a trifle sweet for me at this point, but a nice divergence from oak bomb/over extracted napa cabs. Medium weight, dark black raspberry, nice acidity, subtle tannins.

Nice Cali Bordeaux blend. Rich and ripe, with plenty of oak influence, but nothing over-the-top. Will not be mistaken for Bordeaux, for sure. Crowd pleasing style, but also enough interest for the wine geeks. Oak integrated as it got more air throughout the evening. I really enjoyed this and went well with leftover prime top sirloin steak.

4th Saturday Brown Bagger (R&D’s): Double blind. Dark color. Aromas of plum, dark fruit, soy and potpourri. Plush texture. Flavors of black fruit, plum, soy, chocolate and bouillon. Ripe, but nice. (J&S)

Inky true purple color. Chewy strawberry olive notes. Well integrated and delicious.
