Pretty unusual blend of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Nero d’Avola from different vineyards in Mendocino County. Fermented separately and then aged in barrel for 6 months. Beautiful, complex nose with notes of red and dark fruit. Cherry cola, cinnamon and some smoky notes. Fresh, medium-bodied. Tart red fruit, some blood orange. Great acidity. Fun, very enjoyable — 3 years ago

Pours as vibrant as the label. A blend of pan-Mediterranean varieties, led by Tempranillo and Nero d’avola, that makes for a surprisingly generous, juicy expression of the whole zany zone, AND YET grown in the SA Riverlands. These bullets hit — 7 years ago
Dark ruby with aromas of dark cherry, forest floor, and earthy. On the bud, it dark fruits, tartness, and a mild spice note. The finish is medium. — 8 months ago

Tasted this wine on the last day of our Sicily trip. With lamb chops. Absolutely amazing. Good body, red fruits, spicy, rich but nicely smooth tannins. Loved it. — 6 years ago

Черноплодка, черешня, красная сливовая шкурка, кожа, табак, морёное дерево, лакрица, грифель, сухая земля. Мощно и собранно, с корректной кислотностью и заметными, чуть царапающимися в послевкусии танинами, подсушивающими спелую фруктовую сладость. Аккуратно и глубоко, в меру естественно, с неплохой структурой, чуть рустично и разбалансированно, но интересно. — 7 years ago
