This is not my style of wine - not horribly made, however. If you dig, there are some redeeming earthy notes. It mostly tastes like watered down raspberry jelly.

Second bottle not as inspiring Overly extracted. Nor bad but was way better with food. It's funny how a wine can be stand alone or much better with food. Thus is the case. Decent wine for the price for sure. Was pretty drunk I think for last notes. Drink cellar cool, and give time for aeration.

Curious in light of the 95 rating from WA. Dark ruby fruit - blackberry, currants, and dark cherry. As expected, fruit forward and fairly rich. Smooth mid-palate with solid depth/concentration for the price point. Nice rich flavors of cassis, cocoa/chocolate, and some spice. Decent finish but not overly long nor deep. Popped/poured but drank out of a decanter over a couple hours. Improved a little with time. I’ll refrain from rating it because it’s just not my style but if you enjoy cabs from Daou and Austin Hope I believe you’ll likely enjoy this wine as well. 84% cab sauvignon, 6% malbec, 5% merlot, and 5% petite sirah.
