Tasting note:

A core of fleshy ripe red cherries runs through this wine and it’s gently wrapped in a smoky blanket that makes the wine both vibrant and savory. There’s a small amount of Syrah in this wine to lift and round the mid-palate flavors. Grapes came from the cool climate regions of Monterey, Santa Barbara, Mendocino Sonoma and Napa counties. Randy Ullom, the winemaker, has given us lots to enjoy with this wine. Food matches: salmon carpaccio, ratatouille, frankfurters, prime rib steak, fried chicken.
