Interesting blend of zin and tannat, their contrast definitely complements, but it isn’t mind blowing. — 4 years ago
This wine has a medium-dark ruby tint to it. The nose has dark fruit, a touch of bell pepper and other herbal scents. Fruit plays large on the palate, and the acidity is refreshing while the tannins are razor sharp. Herbal elements linger on the delightful finish. — 4 years ago

Crisp, complex and still refreshing- chill extra to soften minerals. — 3 years ago
2016 vintage. One of the better Syrah’s I’ve had recently. Well crafted. — 4 years ago
This is a very tasty Grenache from Paso Robles. Easy drinking and fruit forward.
Dry on the palate, and medium in body with medium acidity.
Showing red cherries, sweet strawberries, chocolates, light oak, spices, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, dark coffee and light vegetables.
Long tangy finish with fine grained tannins.
Nicely balanced with good complexity. Alcohol is nicely integrated.
Good right out of the bottle, and still young. Will get better in the next few years. A good quality wine.
I had it a few months ago, and this time I gave it a light chill. A good sipping wine that I had by the pool.

Light and not overdone like a rose should be. Acidic, honeydew and pear on smell. First mild acid on tongue to mid palate followed by light strawberry and melon notes with crisp light finish. Smooth and light throughout and very drinkable. — 2 years ago
This wine shows a medium color in the glass with a little shading at the edge. The nose is full of ripe blackberry, cassis, cigar box and clove. The palate is rich and full, with dark fruit and sweet oak spice providing a counterpoint to the savory notes of minerality. The acidity is fresh and the tannins are firm. — 4 years ago
