Basically a cabernet look-alike. Way over priced at $50, best at $14.99 although that isn't going to pay for all that new oak. Mid-palate hollowing out revealing all that dry hard edge wood. Time to drink up before it gets worse.

Bold Tempranillo, Sierra Foothills. Spicy like a Zin. Dark purple in the glass with a little heat but very yummy. Good finish. Produced 202 cases - Sold Out

Smoke and eased into itself. Big rich stuff, but hits me in the right way. Redicious at $35.

A little bit muted on the nose. Nice sweet fruit, clean, not Spanish at all. Definately fun to drink but at $42?
