Very nice bottle of wine, drinking well right now. Enjoyed it on its own with my wife on Sunday evening after a busy holiday weekend. This is a red Rhone blend made from grapes grown in Lake County, CA and the mix is not published. The predominate flavor of raspberry that's tart and sweet at the same time has me putting my money on Grenache as a major component. Reasonable acidity, present but subtle tannins. I liked it well enough to lament that this was my last bottle.

Charcoal, black fruit, and some spice on the nose. Palate is VERY smooth, and while not overly complex, this is definition of a perfect "weekday wine" in my book. Nice length on the finish, with drying tannins.

Afternoon at The Winery Collective (Winery Collective - San Francisco): Red rhone blend from Sol Rouge. Hints of pepper, baking spices, and coffee on the nose. While not as impressive as some of the other Rhone Rangers I’ve had, this is a solid effort.
