Completely empty nose. I felt like a whiff of this took aromas OUT of my nose. What's up with that? A sip, however, led to a pleasant surprise, subdued fruit but plenty of oak and tannins. At this price point, there's better, but I still found it enjoyable.

51/26/12/11 Cabernet/Syrah/Petite Sirah/Cab Franc. Medium nose shows pepper, black cherry, blackberry. Palate has some game to it, bacon, graphite, black cherry, blackberry, tea leaf, dark chocolate. Medium plus dry tannins. Nice value.

Poured alongside our usual at Mission Ranch, Carmel -- blue cheese-covered burgers. Nondescript nose. Light to medium bodied and balanced. Not much for sipping. Screams out for food, which we were happy to oblige. Ripe cranberries and smokey strawberries. Not particularly memorable. But tasty nonetheless.

A decent wine but the price puts it in the company of better wines.
