Found this after reading @Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego glowing review and I have to say the praise is justified. While this is sure to leave the restrained Burgundy purist wanting in terms in nuance and delicacy there is absolutely no doubt that this is a tremendous amount of wine for an absurdly affordable price. One could easily pay twice as much to get all the stuffing packed into this bruiser.
Deep, savory, and spicy, but not without acid. Bay laurel, cherry pipe tobacco, cherry cola, anise, clove, and cardamom with dark earthy mulberry and bramble underneath. Oak is the price of admission. Would be curious to see what’s under the hood without 17 months in 80% new barrel. Not at all what I typically reach for, but I get it. Seek sirloin and sidestep salmon with this one. Possible rebrand with this label?

2019 vintage. Last tasted 6.24.25 (9.4). Still ridiculous for the price. Medium-heavy body. Red-fruited nose translates into the flavors and endures with some pink peppercorns and clove notes on the finish. 10.17.25.
