Very tasty and exceptional value for Cali wine. Missing some of the damp earth/wet stone I tend to associate w left bank properties.

Best new world I've had at this price point in a long time. Nice acid, and elegant at 13.2%abv

This wine is good. The story on the label makes it better.

Nose has touch of Bret, underbrush and blueberry. Needs an hour decant and is best at home with food. Balanced and easy drinking. I wish more sub $20 bottles drank this well. Would have liked a bit more structure present from the Petite Verdot and Tannat.

Tannat? Randall Grahm you crazy. Also, pretty solid little blend for the price.

Nearly as good as my first bottle, but I think the food match made this wine taste more austere.
