Super sale at Save-Mart. Classic label. Looks like this winery is the big boy in the eponymous Edna Valley AVA. Smells pretty nice. Hint of oak-vanilla sauce, but mostly it’s berries and plums with a hint of soil. Flavor is also just enough to overcome that CA vanilla-fruit soup trap that merlot, cab and some blends fall so easy into. Has some zap and zing. Also a bit of bite from both acid and tannin. It’s a passable party wine. Holds its own for what it is.
