Nice wine with lovely red fruit aromatics and spice, vanilla, cedar, the and smoke on the nose. Palate has a nice balance of earthiness and a cool climate brightness. Very nice. It bridges the gap between quaffable weekday wine and good wine that a wine nerd like me can talk about. Grippy tannins and powerful fruit round this wine out.

A really impressive wine from the warmest corner of Mendocino County. Nose has spice, white pepper, plum, black fruit, cedar, and most intriguingly, smoke. Palate is firm with bright acidity underlying this muscular wine. Tasty alone, this wine can balance any foods that are not too delicate. Finish is long.

Bright floral aromas lead to fine-and-sweet-but-grippy tannins. This is a fruit-driven syrah...and perfect.
