Very tasty and exceptional value for Cali wine. Missing some of the damp earth/wet stone I tend to associate w left bank properties.

Best new world I've had at this price point in a long time. Nice acid, and elegant at 13.2%abv

Brilliant purplish red with a fuchsia rim. This wine absolutely must have 30 min. in a decanter prior to serving. With this air, it yields aromas of black berry fruits, black plum, and tea, and on the palate there are notes of red and black berry fruits and blueberries, plus a nice herbal aspect. It's restrained, with medium tannins and a modestly grippy finish. Mercifully only 13.2% alcohol. Overall a food-friendly CA Bordeaux blend for a reasonable price. 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% p. verdot, 8% tannat, 1% p. sirah. $16 (sample. Disclosure: I used to work for this winery, but I had nothing to do with the development of this wine.)

Nose has touch of Bret, underbrush and blueberry. Needs an hour decant and is best at home with food. Balanced and easy drinking. I wish more sub $20 bottles drank this well. Would have liked a bit more structure present from the Petite Verdot and Tannat.

Tannat? Randall Grahm you crazy. Also, pretty solid little blend for the price.

Nearly as good as my first bottle, but I think the food match made this wine taste more austere.
