Lock Vineyard Improv Red Blend
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Have not had a bottle from the winery for a long time. I believe this used to have the single “Lock Vineyard” designation. Not sure why it was removed as the fruits are still 100% from the vineyard.
Quite different than the ‘16 Retro Syrah, this is powerful with dark chocolate and licorice underpinning the ripe dark fruits such a plum and black currant. Rich and dense on the palate with long candied finish. Equally delicious.

Big, bold dark fruit. Vanilla, herbs, and spice. Smooth finish.
