I forgot to post this one from a couple weeks back. New to me, but I think this is from one of the Sebastianis. The two most obvious notes I can recall about this wine were the following: it was varietally correct and tasted like it was from Knights Valley, which I always associate plush, lush, velvety fruit. It wasn’t soul stirring but this would undoubtedly be a huge crowd pleaser. File this one away as an option that most people would probably get into; and that’s meant to be a compliment.

A blend of 84% Cab Sauv, 14% Malbec & 2% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months in French oak, deep Ruby with aromas of red/black fruits with sweet notes and some spice. On the palate plum and blackberry flavors, vanilla spice, cacao and black pepper. Fine grainy tannins, good balance with acidity, medium+ finish ending with oak tones, a bit tight, decant helps.
