First time trying out the new backyard digs but still drinking the NV BSBR. Go to Rosé bubbles. Always get that 50-50 bar or creamsicle flavor with perfect, powdery chalkiness that the region of Champagne does best. Also, appreciate the 12% ABV. Yummy. 😋 — 3 years ago

Wow, a Fav! Had another bottle about 7 mos ago. Blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah & Grenache and aged for 10 months on French oak (40% new). A deep red color with aromas of black fruits and sweet spice. On the palate, ripe plums, jammy blueberries and sweet cherry with slight oak and vanilla spice, pours like syrup. Lingering finish, good length allowing the soft tannins to open in your mouth. Good structure, ending with pure fruit and dash of minerality, drinks well now. Produced with 12 different labels. Wow! — 7 years ago

De li Ci o Us !! ... Great Tempranillo. Beautifully balanced. Low acidity and gentle tannin. Ripe strawberry, plums, prunes, leathers, licorice, tobacco... I would give this wine a higher rating if the “after taste” was somehow more interesting... Still, this is an Amazing Tempranillo wine that wouldn’t leave anyone indifferent. — 8 years ago
