  • Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines
    11% Merlot; 2% Other. Briary, barky overlays and slightly lower fruitiness drop this nicely made wine just below the threshold for full commendation. It is medium-full in body, starts with a nice sense of rounding at the front of the palate and then drifts into evident tannic dryness at the end.

    Very good with food - smooth and flavorful. Probably not available, since we last bought it in 2009.
