Let it breathe. This Bordeaux blend is tight runt off the bat. needs time to open up. Deep dark red color. bigger than expected, but needs time to show true, about 2 hours minimum. The only knock on the wine is the finish, a little lacking. it's nice and smooth, but not enough on the back end.

somewhat typical central coast big red blend, but in a good way - there's load of fruit, over a wide spectrum, as well as oak and leather, but it's well integrated and smooth. This is a good value play for fans of big cali red's, firing on all cylinders for the hedonist in me, without being overly thick, hot, or tiring. well done. My critiques would be that it's flabby and over-oaked, but within the style range enough that they pull it off..

A tasty blend that is one-dimensional with a cherry cany flavor. Juicy, fruit forward, easy to drink, and would please a broad audience. ($17)
