4/21/2023 - freecmorgan@gmail.com wrote: 91 pointsThis is a fun note to leave given so few notes and one that says drink up several years back. Labels says 195 cases were produced. I really don't understand how this isn't the most popular style of wine in the US. It checks a lot of boxes. Restrained compared to plush cabs, lovely color, medium in body, solid acidity and this was really tight on opening. Just a really enjoyable wine that was fresh as a daisy. No hurry here if you got em. CA grenache is growing on me. |

2/14/2023 - SupMaHomes Likes this wine: 90 pointsNeeded about an hour to sit. Was too strong and burned at first. Very rich and bold cab. Smooth and lots of different notes came out the longer we let it sit. |

5/2/2020 - Pop somm Likes this wine: 88 pointsReally like this, I've had American " Chianti" before and was disappointed. Not anymore- nice tannins, tobacco, ripe red cherry stand out. I did get tobacco from an online review- but it nailed the taste I couldn't finger. Normally I'd amend score tomorrow but this BTL won't make it there unfortunately. Still might amend ^ |

4/8/2020 - Limoges Cellars Does not like this wine: NROrange in the glass (was this fermented on the skins?) seems too young to have developed this color from age in just 4 years. oxidized on the palate, Sherry barrel, marcona almonds, dried apricot. Not our favorite by a long shot. |

9/18/2019 - Purple Tooth wrote: 85 pointsSuper dark with lots of stuffing, way, way too much wood for my taste. More woody and planky and not pleasantly oaky. Slight bitterness, too much wood, not enough tannins to hold in my humble opinion. Will not buy again...Cheers |
