It says california, but then says vineyards are in st helena and coomesville- that's Napa!? This is a great for around $10 and solid for after tax under $20. Acidity up-front and some tannic action for a short finally. There is milk chocolate on the high notes and still on the low, with integrated acidity and tannins on the nose, I can smell tannins. Smoke aromas too. This wine looks lighter than it tastes, but I wouldn't say the taste by date of 2028 is legit. Drink this now or later, but not too much later.

Simple, yet so delightful and super crushable. Fresh, clean, lively red currant fruit, minerals, mild oak notes, and a definite roasted red pepper aroma and finish. Unexpected value.

Juicy and ripe fruit, a bit of lively fruit there if the kinda purple-y stuff going on.
