Great value! Founder Andrew Murray’s Vineyards is a 200-acre site, about 1,500 feet above Foxen Canyon Rd, inland portion of the Santa Ynez Valley, making the vineyard the highest in the county. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, "Tous les Jours" means “every day,” shows dark red with black fruit aromas and complex spice notes. On the palate, blueberry and black cherry with spicy cedar notes and some oak, Soft tannins, long finish. Very nice, did I say great value!

Super black and dense with good mixed spice notes and stewed blackberries. Not the best domestic sirah, but perhaps the best priced.

Not overly complex, but since when does a wine have to be complex to be good? Straight forward lush dark plum flavors. Deep abyss black as night. So perfect for Chillin & relaxin 😎 with good friends

Good Syrah new world character. Some meat, good slice, lots of glycerin and slick textures. For the $ pretty good at $18.

Not overly meaty or smokey, but good fruit and complexity.

Nice, with good complexity. Somehow, though, it didn't quite speak to me.

Cooked cherries, iron minerality, a nice, round texture with some smoke and spice on the finish.
