Either I'm crazy, or the bottle-to-bottle variation is high, or it's actually getting better--but this bottle was terrific. Really in a sweet spot right now.

This is an outstanding jammy wine. I expected it to be more like a cab franc, but it tastes much more like a petite syrah. Had it with spaghetti and meatballs.

Tart jam, sour cherry, looooong finish; held up through the next day. Paired perfectly with -- yes, I know -- salty chips.

Not sure why they didn't use this for a blend. Not as exciting as the Cab Franc they do on occasion.

Simple; one-dimensional; not as interesting as I had hoped. Fruity, and noticeably hot. A let-down after their Cab Franc.

Rather subtle nose on this wine. Lots of red fruits, mostly cherry, with only very slight tannins. A nice spicy finish.
