If you lean towards that ripe, smooth New World style, you'll score even higher than I did. This is really nice and beats other domestic non-traditional blends of Bordeaux-Rhone it higher prices. Pleasant to sip on its own, never cloying, just pure vibrant deep fruit with some dusty earth. Great with grilled steaks.

December 30, 2023 - Big, lush red. There’s a lot going on here. Not sure what the blend is (Cabernet, Syrah, maybe some Merlot?), but this was really interesting. Improved greatly with air. The minerality of this wine lifted the thick dark fruits beautifully. Loved the soft, silky tannins and long finish. Very well made wine
