Came off as disjointed unbalanced. There was a solid core of black fruit and pepper, but it was out of sync with the tannic bite at the end. Not the experience I expected at this price point. Probably needs more time in the bottle.

Jammy black fruit nose, gamey/leathery/rustic notes on the palate initially followed by some brambly fruit and tannins on the finish. Not a small wine in any sense, but not as in your face as you might think. If you like Bonny Doon's Contra you'll like this. A fine California table wine. I wish more people would make wine like this here. Solid effort.

Had a few glasses of this at a party. Nice purity of bright red fruit with a solid acidic backing. Even a bit of depth and structure there. Nice stuff.
