Big, fruity, herbal, nicely balanced RR PN. Bay leaves and cherries on the palate — 2 months ago
Aspirational label with all the raised embossed stuff and the gold on black. But light weight like it’s not supposed to be aged. Well I’m doing 2012 in 2021. Interesting mix (Temp, Granacha, & Cariñena). Dark-ish. Slightly ruby. Smells like mashed tart berries of some sort. Rhubarb. Rhubarb and strawberry crisp filling before it’s cooked. Also something vegetal and green. Like cut shoots on a spring willow. Flavors are nice. Balanced, biting and juyceyyy! Lots of kinds of cherries and berries and some minty, bright streak. Lingers long with well made berry jam notes. This is a nice blend right out of the gran Españ a playbook. So damn juuuiiicy! — 4 years ago

Label says grapes are from Petaluma Gap, which I guess includes part of Marin County as well as Sonoma? Light in color, but lovely red floral aromas and dried red cherry and cranberry fruit flavors, very nice balance, drinking beautifully tonight, lingering finish, very well-done!! — 24 days ago
