This is an outstanding wine, warm and fruit driven. It's difficult to suss out the varietal character but I'd surmise some Cab, Merlot, and maybe a zin or Rhone varietal. It's medium rich with some mild oaking, mostly fresh dark fruited with some velvet coming up in the finish. I like this wine, drink on it own, or with dinner. Versatile for its character, but probably not terribly ageworthy.

Passover at friends (Val and Rons): Not sure what is in this, but it is nice. Black cherries on the nose. Carries thru to the palate. Not much acidity, but a pleasant, easy drinking wine.

Smooth after minimal air time. I have noted some significant bottle variability.

Pretty darn good. Really opened up and was quite full after 30min. in the glass. Let it breathe and you'll be rewarded.

Very approachable and fruit forward. Bit of a bomb.
