Blueberry and raspberry are there first, but there is stony-ness and a mushroom-olive bread on a cedar plank. It is big-fruit Cali but it has structure. She's broad shouldered but she isn't on Steroids. Plus, points for growing Tempranillo in Cab and Chard country. This is wine with a story. #strightline #tempranillo
