2024 - Vintage Definitely not a super complex wine and a bit thin but I can’t think of a less expensive wine atTrader Joe’s that is more fun as a pool pounder - I like its higher acidity and low ABV 11.5 % Fun wine — 2 days ago

the red BDX is $5.99 or so at TJ's. Solid thrash and smash party wine/mixer wine for bigger groups since it is fairly fleshy.

When I planted my vineyard in 1999 people were calling me a loon for planting Syrah block West of the Sta. Rita Hills planting it to 6x3 planting 15” off the ground - now Mouvedre is planted next door and wow the aromatics here are amazing - this is planted to a head trained system I’m told, really nice job by the folks atClementine Carter- rose petal, cherry fruit , spice , black pepper, earth , cinnamon, so easy to enjoy - Nice — 9 days ago
