If you need a powerful concentrated red without the heaviness and tannic bluster of a Cabernet, this guy's your huckleberry. Sleek and well built, with good acid and a lingering finish. Get some if you can. Good job, Tegan!

Wow, really took me by surprise. Loved how strong the flavor was without being a heavy, tannic bruiser. Still great acidity and freshness with medium/med+ body. Loved it.
