Wonderful blend of Grenache/Syrah/Graciano/Clairette Blanche from the York Mountain AVA near Paso Robles. Out of the gate this was all savory: salty olives, smokey meat. After some air this revealed some deep cherry and plum backed up by some big structured tannins. I think this has some potential to develop and will drink great for 5+ years.

So good! Wonderful spice and great fruit. Decanted for 3 hours and drank smooth. Have two more bottles to savor. Great value. Agree almost has a zin quality to it.

Fruit forward, black cherry and plum leading the way. Still some tension on the finish. Drink up.

I didn't love this right after release. But it has definitely come around. Delicious!

Hmmm. Very sweet and spicy. More in the direction of port, but without the complexity. Reminds my of glögg (a danish mulled wine).
