  Deep garnet in color with a purple hue. On the nose, notes of blackberry, smoked bacon and spice dominate. In the mouth, the wine is lively and fresh, with firm, savory tannins leading to a long, clean finish.

  I tried their Cab a couple of weeks ago and loved it, so of course I had to try some of their other wines. Glad I did.
  
  An enticing nose leads to a medium+ bodied wine that offers smooth fruit and tannins. Medium acidity and a longish finish. Enjoyed by itself and with a bucatini pomodoro. Curious to see how it changes when I finish it off tomorrow.
  
  Looking forward to trying their bottle of SB.
  
  👍
  
  Edit - more expressive on the second night....fuller, smoother and more balanced. Very nice

  Needed to breathe right away, was a bit acrid at first but quickly opened in the glass. Medium to full-bodied went and a bit of richness, which is balanced with a tart red berry flavor. Has sulfites but they didn't bother me like they do in some wines. Did well on the counter the next two days.
