This is a creation from the Santa Ynez Valley with big aromas of black berries with a nice garnet color and some density to boot.
The nose is ample with plenty of dark fruit that has some character with an accompanying mint(?) Or cedar hint.
The palate is stern and tight on opening with tannins that are chewy. The finish is somewhat complex with a fruit and spice ending.
Once breathed, black berry and spice flavors are present but not up to the level of the bouquet. They are a bit thin and tannic. Not bad but for the price of $18, I would look to Chile. Raise a glass either way.

Hi. Nice blog. However, there is nothing good to say about Firestone. They kept me waiting three hours to see why the red brake light would not go off the dash. They repaired in half an hour, and let me drive out in traffic with the same problem we paid them to fix. Firestone has collected more than $1,500 from me in the past 6 months for repair and they show no concern for cost, time or defective service. Do not go there. Check out other complaints about the company on this great site www.pissedconsumer.com.
