Aged in French oak (85% new) for 12 months, medium Ruby with aromas of red berry fruit, floral and herb spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and tart raspberry with smoky and pleasant earthy herb notes, wrapped in vivid acidity and nice mouthfeel. Fine chalky tannins, good balance, long finish ending with fruit, smoke and oak character. Nice. — 7 months ago

This California Red blend is always enjoyable.
Good by itself as a sipping wine by the porch, but might be sweet for some. Big, jammy and bold with nice complexity and a long finish.
This 5 year old is still drinking very nicely. I aged it for a few years, but I don't see much difference. Easy to drink, so watch out with all that alcohol. Great for parties. 😉
