Turning into my favorite HS bottling. So freaking good! And good to be home. My cellar missed me. 😂

I love this wine, might be my favorite Herman Story bottling. Man, this is SO good. From the winemaker himself: ‘This is the best summer backyard BBQ wedding that has ever happened between two decorated families: cherry ice cream, blueberry and paseo pepper jelly, Maduro cigars, barrel aged Manhattans, blood orange demi glace, red oak coal grilled steak, sun tea, gnawed cinnamon stick, red velvet cake, Italian espresso, Hershey’s Chocolate milk, Turkish delight elixir with the soft sense of promise. 35% Tempranillo, 32% Cabernet, Sauvignon, 25% Syrah, 6% Mourvedre, 2% Grenache’. He’s witty. I get the cherry ice cream, blueberry, manhattans and red velvet. Not sure I need any more than that. Merry Christmas!

Bold fruits balanced against subtle hints of mushroom and earth. Great minerality, smooth tannins, and lingering finish that is pleasant to have around.
