Wine Review: This was one of my favorite wines at a recent Paso Robles tasting that I attended in Boston. This wine has a big fruit forward and inviting bouquet. On the palate, this wine is smooth as silk, well balanced, and has flamboyant fruit flavors. This wine is terrific. The finish is dry and quite prolonged. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: APPEARANCE: Deep blood red. NOSE: Dark fruits, minerals, licorice, meat and earth. PALATE: Dried figs, plums with notes of kirsch, smoked meats and black cherries. Hints of wet stones and silky tannins give this wine a rich and complex mouth feel. Perfect Duck Confit wine! Should cellar nicely for 7-10 years.
