It does not get any better than this show stopper of a wine! At first pour, you notice the deep inky purple which hints at the robustness to come. On the nose, dark fruit, vanilla and chocolate flirt your senses. The rich, thick dark fruit is layered with hints of tobacco, black pepper and earth tones. The robust palate paired with just-enough tannins to give you something to "chew on" make this an exceptionally balanced wine. One of my all time favorite California Rhone blends- for best results, pair with filet.

One of my favorite Californian Rhone varietals! Pours like velvet rope - inky purple in color. Aromas of violets with a subtle oakiness. Tasting notes of ripe plums, cranberries and light tanin finish. Paired well with filet.
