Yummy, take me to Santa Barbara!
Had 3.5 hours open and has just begun to speak to me…Its 2:30 AM, and really must be going… of course you’re a wine, that needs my attention at 2:30 am…
Needs good decant, times may very. Fantastic Sanata Barbara terrior - grass, soil… woot, Santa Barbara. Acid, mouthwatering good time, fruit plentiful, crisp grape skin, crunchy woody tannin, good-time funk
If I remember correctly, first discovered Lo-Fi at Ruby Wine in SF eons ago at a wine maker tasting “Natty Party”, was impressed then as I still am, good job Lo-Fi

Good fruit, some over-ripe notes, fine tannin. Overall good QPR for $16.

Tannins blocking the fruit, opened up a bit after 1.5 he’s decant but still tight. Give 5-12 months more in bottle. — 5 months ago
Give this one a proper 1.5 hour decant, tight, needs to relax. Also deserves proper wine glass, I used a glass tumbler.
Enjoying by the glass, it was fun to witness it unfold. Tight, earthy, tannic, and not very expressive at the beginning, later a floral and raspberry note showed up in the nose. Earthy on the pallet.
9.1 for my experience, could achieve 9.3 with proper handling. — 7 months ago

Very pleasant easy drinking Blaufrankish.
Dark cherry, lil pepper, moderate acidity, quick finish. 13% abv — 6 months ago
Very nice Margaux for under $50. Nothing mind blowing, could use 1-2 year additional lay-down time as I found the tannin was blocking the fruit notes which were in the Black Currant zone.
