THE best sub-$20 California wine I've had in a while. Primarily Merlot (80%) and Cabernet (17%), this is a exceptional food wine. Espresso and vanilla, and bursting with black cherries. What a value

This pulls no punches when it comes to under $20 Northern California reds. Rich fruit of mostly black cherry and a touch of blackberry, along with mocha, and a bevy of spices, including nutmeg, clove, anise, and vanilla. There's a wild, herbaceous character that makes it clear this is mountain fruit.

Plum compote / prune saucer in the glass. Flavors are nice. Ripe and dark fruits on the tongue. Some woodsy/oaky stuffy. A nice drink.

Great nose, cherry flavors, would like a better alcohol to fruit balance, dry. Love other reds from this vineyard, zinfandel especially.
